Here is preliminary performance data from the factory:

We did not have the fuel flow meters installed for the maiden voyage
so there is no fuel data.  We were using 14 1/2 x 15 Solas stainless
proplellers with a max RPM of over 6,000.  We will do some additional
testing with 17 pitch propellers and post the data.  Here is some
