Tripple 350s on 36 contendor

MrBill · 07-18-2007, 09:08 PM

This boat will flat out haul buns. You could never open up the throttles in the GOM with our seas but it would be fun trying.

Here are the numbers if you are wondering. RPM,MPH,GPH,MPG

1500 9.5 8.1 1.17
2000 13.6 14.4 0.94
2500 23.7 19.7 1.20
3000 33.2 25.7 1.29
3500 40.1 32.4 1.24
4000 47.4 42.4 1.12
4500 53.0 52.7 1.01
5000 59.3 65.8 0.90
5500 66.0 87.4 0.76
6000 70.1 99.2 0.71

Anyone believe these are anywhere close to being real world GPH/MPG numbers?

4 strokes are quite, at the dock you can't hear them running.

4 strokes are gas savers.. in a bassin world where this IS no middle speed (only wide open 5800RPM- and idle)I see the GPH difference in 4strk vs. 2strk.~ I would bet those numbers are pretty darn close.

Ha! That reminds me of a guide I fished with on Lake Eufala, Georgia years ago. Everywhere we went we ran about 50 MPH and then he's slam off the throttle throwing us all over the boat and scream ....
