Hi,
New to the forum and a new Predator 160 owner (1st trip BH Mon) boat is fitted with a Mecury 50hp efi 4-stroke but would not pull more than 4,500rpm for about 22knots, with the throttle on the stop.
3 on-board, gear and food for a days fishing.
I had expected it to be quicker with this load on, am I expecting too much, am I over-propped, its a 2-year old package but very clean was supplied from new with the engine package to the previous owner.
Any views appreciated:g:
Thanks
Tony.R
