There was a bit of interest in specifications and performance for the
new Parker 34 with the twin F350s. 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:

What's the "cruise" sweet spot for your 36' Zimmerman like lobster
boat?
