Shakedown Cruise
Finally we got out after all the speed bumps we overcame. SMOOTH calm day, only causality was the VHF antenna bolt backed off and fell down. A quick turn of the wrench took care of that. New props sized at 21 x 21 down from 22 x 22. HUGE difference! No lugging, we hit 4200 easily, and also at cruise now at 3200 I am at 32 GPH (both engines) compared to 44 with old props. GREAT day! Oh yes, a happy Admiral too

Re: Shakedown Cruise
Congrats, Tony, on a successful shakedown!
Thank goodness my boat does not have a GPH meter. I don't want to know haha.
