Uneventful trip to Deale from Fortescue, NJ.
Pretty much flat calm and zero ice.
1950 rpm came out to be 16.5 - 17 kts burning 10.1 gallons per hour. Wide open is 2600 rpm. Pushed it up there long enough to see 23 Kts. Engine life and fuel costs being directly proportional to the distance between the red knob and the windshield - we didn't run it hard for long.
The shame is that there were probably 40 people all tracking Happy Harbor parking lot sludge on to the boat yesterday afternoon and the water shut we can't wash it!
