New boat big miles

[IBWET]

Picked up new toy last week ,between thursday and tonight we've done 260 NM's. It's doing approx 1 ltr to 1NM which I'm happy with, this during running in.

would recomend both the manufacturer to date and the performance of the engine. 21" momontarily touched 5,800=39kts but this was'nt full throt - I get the feeling the engine would have humped through the 6,000 limit if I had let it.

23" in coming up to try..

To quote my 17 year old... "Sweeeeet...."... Love the colour scheme... or rather the lack of one!

it's over the initial 10 hours so yep..

On my last rib, 4SR, dolefins made a big difference to the way it moved up on to the plane,this boat could I think, also benifit ( presently very fast but a pronounced hump over the top) do dolefins ever get fitted to engines this size I can't remember seeing any? ....anybody.
