Prop size, burn rates, speed at WOT, cruise?
Just wonderin how many there are round these parts. I know most people on the board have clip-on's but there have to be a few sterndrives in these waters...
Ill start.
1988 2520 mod-v, 04 Mercruiser 2bbl 5.7(250hp) mated to a Bravo II, no trim tabs.
Prop is 18.25 x 19p 3 blade AL
Top speed is 34 kts @ an unconfirmed 4700rpm
Cruise is 23-26 @ 3300-3500 rpm
Burns around 2.3mpg at cruise speeds.
This is with 3/4 of a tank and 3 people on board (roughly 550lbs)
Just considering a different prop and wondering who's running what....
