Good Morning,
I'm going crazy with the performance of my 2002 290AJ, I'm the second owner, the previous one obviously modified the power on this boat but it's doesn't quite match what I read on the forums about other Amberjacks, I think I'm consuming too much fuel, I change the propellers from a 26p to a 22p and see much better performance but still not quite there yet. (when compared to the few numbers I have from other Amberjacks)
I have (2) Mercruiser 6.2L MPI, Bravo III 2.20 ratio and 22p Propellers, I cruise at 3200rpm @ 28mph, and WOT 4200rpm @ 36mph. (not sure how much fuel since I don't have a fuel monitor system) this is with 2 people, no gear and 1/4 of thank of fuel. I seem better numbers with Bravo II and 5.0 engines.
Am I missing something here? :huh:
Thank you for your input.
