I previously reported this:

2008 Parker 2100CC with Yamaha F150 and black stainless 15-1/4 x 15 three
blade prop.

Two guys, full fuel load (100 gallons), cooler, ice, rods, and the usual
junk:

6000 rpm and 40 mph+ on both the GPS and built in Yamaha speedo. I think
there is a little more if I play with trim.

4000 rpm delivered 25+ mph, and 4500 produced just about 30 mph. I
"cruise" at 25 or so, and with a little trim fiddle, I was able to
achieve this with 3900 rpm, and about 6 gph.


UPDATE:

This past weekend out on the Patuxent River with my wife aboard and with
a buddy aboard, too, with 80 gallons of fuel in the tank and two coolers,
plus the bimini top up, and the usual assortment of stuff
you have to have with a female aboard, including a folding lounge chair
(!):

We got 40+ mph at 5900 rpm in flat water. The acceleration is outstanding
with the 15-1/4 x 15 prop. The boat jumps right up on plane when you
firewall the throttle and you can almost immediately pull back for a
smooth cruise. Nice flat wake, too, and with the almost flat through hull
transducer, no little rooster tail off the transom.

I rarely will have more than two or three other people on this boat, so I
am well-pleased with the WOT figures, since with the damned chop on the
Bay much of time time, running at 25 mph is much more likely, and even
more likely many days, running in the low 20s. The fuel burn at cruise is
in the low 6 gph range.

When I was contemplating this new boat, I considered for a while going
with an F200. I'm glad I didn't...not for my usage on Chesapeake
Bay...the ideal match is the F150.

Would a silver prop perform better?

No, the black prop delivers much better performance.

You a**holes try sooooo hard, eh, Bill? Perhaps you and Reggie Retardo
can hook up in a Minneapolis airport men's room. Just tap your foot.

Prop color has some meaning in the Yamaha prop offerings. I'd explain,
but what's the point? I mean, this is "wrecked.boats," the playpen for
Junior Snarkers like you and your boatless, lifeless, nameless, jobless
dipstick of a buddy, Reggie Retardo.

You f'n pervert. You are the one most likely to be in the 2 holer with a
plastic raincoat on while spying on both men and women. Since you now
actually appear to own a boat and have actually used it, seems as if you
have to describe all. My Yamaha T-8 came with a white prop. When I got the
prop straightened they painted it black. does not seem to be a noticable
difference in performance. The black prop worked well on Tuesday while
trolling for lake trout at Lake Tahoe. Caught a small 12" one and a nice
24" one. Both released to be caught another day. Maybe if I paint the
stainless impellers in my jetdrive, I can get another 20-30 knots of
performance?

The paint is not there for performance, booze-for-brains, it is there on
the Yamaha selections to differentiate between one line and style of
props and several others. There are shiny stainless props, painted
stainless props, painted alum props, et cetera, and they are used in
different lines of props designed for different purposes.

Now, you may return to your third six pack of the day.

You do know you are replying to a moron with a mental disorder, right?
Narcissism can force them to make insane statements that they truly
believe and will defend until the end.

There are a lot of morons on newsgroups. My daughter makes a very nice
living as a therapist for the handicapped. I do not avoid them here, as
that would remove some of the fun. Just like SW would not be as likeable if
he was normal.

The shiny stainless props are always the fastest.

How do I know?

Take a look at the props on any boat that goes past you at 90 mph.

The fastest prop I ever had was a two blade bronze on a hopped up 10 hp
Merc my dad built for me in 1953 out of the parts bin. I used to pull
that prop once a week and "polish" it.
