    2530 DV on her way home with new power

    Here are a couple of pics of the Bluesky on her way home after a diesel repower. With the Yanmar 240HP/Bravo X 2 the boat flies now. I was running 22kts into the wind at only 2800rpm when my wife took these pics. They are telling me to run it at 3000rpm which is another 1.5 knots.
