Wide open speed?? - 24ft Sea Ray - Merc 454 - Bravo 1
Hi, I'm looking for some comparisons.
92 24ft Sea Ray Cuddy (Overnighter) 8' 6'' beam 4200 lbs - probably pushing 5k with fuel, body and gear 454 7.4l Merc - If they were honest the compression is good - all 140-150 Bravo One 15x19 ss prop (quicksilver) Just had Webber 4bbl carb rebuilt by pro - I have not done any tunning, he told me it should be good to go. I'm turning 4200 rpm WOT which I'm happy with but barely hitting 40 mph (gps). I'm trimmed out the best I can before venting, my bottom could be better but no growth (paint is bad, long story). (moored in marshy salt water, cape cod). Mid range cruising speed is strong, 30-32 mph @ 3200 rpm I really think I should be moving along a little quicker wide open, anyone running anything similar with better results? Thanks, K |
