ExUserGone Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'm trying to get a good idea of what I should get out of my princess 30ds as full speed and cruising speed so would like to know what engines setups others have and what they do, I can't go just by a thrash across breydon as I have an add on barkeel that causes me drag and I want work out if I should take it off or not as I will rarely get any benefit from it, it's only for drying harbours.(also have the beaching legs to go with it) I have 2x TMD41a's @ 150hp each on shafts and seemed to average 18-19knots at full throttle @3900rpm, what do others get? I know what sales ads say buy they are likely to be a bit elastic with the figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We looked at a 414 and that twin 40b's, that should have done 25kts apparently and as low as 1/2mpg Not sure what the revs were .. 3900 sounds a bit high to me. May be worth given Northgate marine a bell (http://www.northgate-marine.co.uk/) we had a good chat to him and he is clearly very knowledgeable. He's should give you some idea. (If he can't no one can). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
