This is what will be on the Yamaha site soon: The following performance data was provided by Yamaha. Performance will vary depending on conditions and load. 1000 rpm, 6.8 mph, 2.9 gph, 2.37 mpg 1500 rpm, 8.2 mph, 5.1 gph, 1.61 mpg 2000 rpm, 9.7 mph, 9.1 gph, 1.07 mpg 2500 rpm, 12.0 mph, 12.8 gph, .93 mpg 3000 rpm, 19.5 mph, 18.1 gph, 1.08 mpg 3500 rpm, 27.3 mph, 22.9 gph, 1.19 mpg 4000 rpm, 33.2 mph, 26.0 gph, 1.28 mpg 4500 rpm, 37.7 mph, 33.3 gph, 1.13 mpg 5000 rpm, 42.7 mph, 42.3 gph, 1.01 mpg 5500 rpm, 47.7 mph, 52.9 gph, .90 mpg 6000 rpm, 52.6 mph, 67.9 gph, .78 mpg Time to plane: 5.25 seconds 0 to 30 mph: 8.65 seconds Test was performed with air temp of 89 degrees, water temp 82 degrees Wind velocity: 10 to 15 mph Weight as tested: 16,130 lbs Prop: Sal****er Series XL, 16 1/4 x 19, Polished Stainless Steel Interestingly, 4000 rpm is the "cruise" mpg sweet spot for my little Yamaha F150, too. Here's a factory-supplied shot of the main cabin of the first production boat: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...neous/parker34.... Minimum speed is too fast for tuna. Eisboch Uh...that's not minimum speed...that's the speed at 1000 rpm. * :) The F350's have a trolling throttle controller, +/- 50 rpm increments (600 - 1000 rpm range) via the Command Link System. My F150 runs just fine at 600 rpm, and according to my gps, I can power the boat forward in still water at under one mph if I want. I assume most modern outboards can run real slow, except maybe some of the two stroke engines.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - WHOOOOSH......... |
