I'm almost certain that I can coax another 3 knots out of the boat with a prop change but as I said earlier, I'm getting Cummins recommended 2800rpm now. I'm also used to the 8.4 knots and the sound of the engine at 2000rpm. At 2400 she will go 9.3 knots but look at the fuel flow. Christ! I'm on a fixed income and have to watch mu Ps & Qs!
