Default Catalina 27 - Cruising performance?

We've got a Catalina 27 with a 9.9hp 4-stroke

5.5 Knots with the outboard at about 3/4 throttle.


Thanks, Don! That's about what I expected: maybe 6knots
balls-to-the-wall under ideal conditions, more like 5 for navigational
estimating purposes.

Anybody have any more accurate readings?
