<table><tr><td> I can only attest to my own experience with my 2520DV/ 250HP OX66. I ride great in chop, can get around 31 knots top-end with a fully loaded boat ( 3 men, 2 large coolers of ice, gear and full tank of fuel, ~ 5200 rpm). Typical cruise for me is around 23 knots, (~4600 rpm) in 3 foot seas. I have run 80nm offshore, trolled for 5 hours and run home having burned 115 gallons of fuel. I upgraded to a Yamaha performance prop this year, and have seen a slight performance improvement ( handling in reverse, speed to plane and fuel economy. I did not change my prop due to any problems with the stock one- I actually had spun my old prop last season and traded a Yamaha mechanic a used portable AC unit for a barely used performance prop. Hope this helps- Bill At 12:35 AM 11/8/2003 +0000, you wrote: <blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite=""><tt>Bill, can you please give a run down on performance-speed vs rpms and fuel consumption.
