I think the fuel burn at 3500 is amazing and even 4,000 is amazing.  Most of the time my speed has been around 20 mph in ocean waters.

Very well done!

Can you share what the prop specs are?  We all are interested.
 Sounds like you are wanting more pitch for the prop's
 

I forgot to get the prop info, I'll be back over this weekend and will post up the info

[ghelland]

Next time you are out please add numbers for 9 knots.  My buddies with trawlers will be drooling.

[Brian.Dixon]

Yeah, and I'm hoping for an airborne jump shot off the top of a big wave, the props being the only thing in the water!

Seems like when you build a boat she's always wanting more of your time. Just love working on the boat in the slip My tools for the days adventure. Installing cuddy reading lights, working on the propane locker, installing rod racks inside the WH

I really like the table with the lip around the edges.  So cool to see your boat getting better all the time.

Thanks, I had some Corian left over so I used it on all counters

Dang, I am envious.  Boat envy is a good motivator.

Hi Chuck ,  My twins are in and I need to choose the props.  Please tell me what you are using now and your max RPM. 
Thanks

I'm currently running 14x22 on my Suzuki 140hp. Started out with 14x18. I'm going to 14x20 should be perfect for my set-up. Max RPM is 6000

Thanks, for the prop info.  I saw it last week but could not reply with my phone.
I will start with the 20 and hope for the best.

Did you put trim tabs on your boat, if so how big are they? if not, are you ok without them? With twins on a back of a Kodiak, how big of tabs do you think you good fit on the beast.

Thanks for input.

My plan was to wait until I got a chance to use the boat before deciding on trim tabs. I was pretty sure I would want them. As it turns out I'm glad I waited, so far I have not needed them at all, not even once. My last 2 factory offshore boats both had trim tabs and I used them often. The GA continues to impress me. As to what would fit I'm not sure she's moored at the moment. Maybe the attached photo will help you out.

I've spent 10 full days working on Izzy J getting her ready for a 1200 mile trip from San Diego to Puerto Vallarta via the pacific side of Baja. Here are some recent photos of some of my add's. So far I have installed, captain and co pilot folding foot rest, holding bracket for my handheld remote for the auto pilot, 40" wide Black Oak combo flood/spot light can't believe how well it works, new 12V refrigerator, got the propone locker finished to hookup the 2 burner stove in the WH and the BBQ quick connect bracket for out on the transom, 65 gal. live well & 2 new through holes to make it work, 1400 gpm pump for the tank, TACO 16' outriggers, red/white WH lights, installed an external Garmin heading sensor to fine tune the Garmin auto pilot, installed a much better compass on the helm, finished all the curtains on the inside, got a 10' dingy for on top with 6hp 4-stroke motor and a ton on small items. Got my GPS all set-up to monitor my fuel and mpg at all times, gas stops are 350 plus miles apart. Leaving March 2nd out of San Diego, we will have good moonlight most of the way down. planning on about a 10-12 days on the water. We plan on fishing from Turtle Bay all the way to Cobo San Lucas.
 Almost forgot I also installed an intermittent wiper switch that would be wonderful in the PNW not sure how much it will be used in PV:)

Chuck, which Autopilot did you get?

[Grady300]

Chuck, which Autopilot did you get?

The Garmin Reactor with smart pump, seems like it was around 5k for all of it including the smaller controller on the helm.
