50hp underway

Post by foreverunstopable »

Does anyone have a video of the Telstar with 50hp underway at cruise and at WOT?

What is the cruise sleed in knots at 4k-5k rpm vs WOT?

We're looking at both the 20hp and the 50hp but leaning to the 50 as we have a ways to go to open water.

Thanks

I changed my 50hp to a 20 for fuel economy. WOT gave me 14 knots. I don't remember the RPM reading. But cruising at 6 knots gave me a fuel consumption of 1.5 gallons per hour. The 20, with a 4 blade prop, gives 8 knots at WOT and uses .75 gallons at 6 knots.
