Time to slow things down?

[Chimo]

This post is interesting, depending on tides and current on the Columbia at 10 to 12 MPH we get about 2 to 4 per mpg with our 300HP Suzuki Outboard on our R-27- even better if we slow down to 8MPH.

Dry weight of 8,200 lbs for an R27, 10,500 for an R29S. That's a 28% difference, a big factor at hull speeds.
