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:

Minimum speed is too fast for tuna.

Eisboch

How you going to get through the 5 mph zones?

Duh...you knock the RPMs down to whatever engine speed produces 5 mph or
less.

Holy ****, that's funny!!!!
An engine will idle at ANY speed? 3rpm?

1. Note the time.
2. Get over there and if time is that short, risk the damage and push
the car off the tracks. You said stalled, not stuck.

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.
I know. Just trying to be a wise ass.
The Egg Harbor we had couldn't troll slow enough for tuna with both
engines
running and in gear. It didn't have trolling valves, so I often had to
let
one engine idle in neutral and use the other for the *magic* tuna
trolling
speed of about 3 kts.

Yesterday, you insisted that you already knew.. Of course anyone who
has ever turned on a computer knew with the limited info you had, that
would be imossible. Same with Loogies problem... Both BTW were not any
problem on the client side.. but it's way to complicated for a windoze
hero like you so I won't bother.

I'd make sure no one was in that car before doing anything else.

It's Scotty. It's going to have something to do with his inability to
use Agent software, rusty guitar strings and cracked motorcycle helmets.

Nope, but at least you are the first one that wants to save the car
Damn, you almost had it...

Make sure your tow truck is not attached to the car and stand well
clear.

nope.... try again.. Remember, the train is not "here" but you know
it's coming

Get the video camera out.

Nope.. but since a few are playing, let's go with another hint..
Consider the train a red herring....

How fast is the train swimming?

It's treading water up the tracks, but it will come, eventually...
Again, think of the train as a red herring.. Think, KISS... ...
Richard made some great points...
