Just clocked up enough hours breaking-in the
new DF150 to give it a real squirt :)
1st Open Throttle Run - 42.3 knots @ 5950-6000 rpm
in slight chop & 15knt cross-wind. (Storm brewing)
Starts off cruising 25-30 knots then WOT @ ~1.00, then a run back for another WOT squirt @ 3.30 : 42.3 knots with bow trimmed down into the chop.
A later run closer inshore out of the wind & calmer conditions got 44.4 knots.
Boat : 20ft Chivers Eagle 2000 (Deep V Offshore Hull)
(Excuse the music - the camera mount was loose and making a sh!t rattling sound, so I added some music afterwards to drown it out)
so much quicker eh..
