Bought a 96 440 EB last week with sea trial today. Impressions: steering seems slow at slow speeds, top speed with 350 hp original 3116 with 1100 hours seemed slow at 22 knots. Tachometers were erratic and probably low reading but stbd engine was 2950 rpm and port was 2600 but again, tachometers are very suspect. I was under the impression from previous posts that top speed was around 25. Cruising at 2400 rpm the speed was around 16 but there was serious tide and not able to do up/down runs. Props were 22X22 per surveyor. Comments?
