<DIV><FONT size=2>Dick,from the informatiom I got from the Westerbeke Web page
the max torque is at 2600 rpm and this is the speed I run usually run at .At
these revs I get 5 knots .If I go to 3000rpm I get a little under 6knots
but any increase in revs above that seems to give no significant increase in
hull speed. You seem to be doing better with your 2 blade 12 x 6 than I am with
a 3 blade 12 x 8.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Re living in England:yes I do and during the spring,summer and
autumn(fall) there is no place else I would rather be,but when winter draws on I
get the urge to see palm trees and dolphins and Publix and K Mart.I know exactly
what you mean about our cool weather, I live on the North coast of Kent, on the
sea front and when those winter northers come down the North Sea the first thing
they hit is my double glazing . </FONT></DIV>
