I traveled around 1200 miles last year with my Bertram, same engine package. All was at 1200 rpm to save fuel. We still struggled to achieve one mile per gallon at 9 knots. I know now that a rpm reduction might be a big help. 1000 rpm will still be in 7-8 knot range. Cannot afford to test at top speed...... great boat just not efficient as a LRC
