The calculator I just used. 1.97 gear ratio, 15% slip, 2350 rpms, 40" pitch= 33 knots. 20% slip= 31 knots WOT 2000 rpms (should be 80%) 28.7...
That is true, but they would've gone under in the financial meltdown 10 years ago if Brunswick didn't step in and loan them a boat load of cash.
This dated article on HMY's website shows a 26/27 knot cruise and 30+ knot top......with 1050 mans. That would be my guess as to actual numbers...
Obey was Sunseekers largest dealer in the U.S. and for well over a decade. Most all of the new yachts have to be ordered as there are so many...
I use any tool that is available to me that will help me do my job. I run A LOT of different yachts, at least 100 different ones a year. On...
WELL, here's the problem. Sunseeker never got paid for the boats in question, or never paid fully. SO, really Obey is the bad guy as far as...
There are several 25's in Harbour Island, Bahamas that work every single day as a ferry and have 2-200hp Yamaha's on them......I've seen several...

You'd be hard pressed to do 30 knots in a 90' at 90 gph. Length and associated drag and weight when going larger takes more HP. Yeah, most of...
?????? This measure REALLY depends on length. What length are you referring to? 55'? Because the longer the boat, no matter how efficient, if...
Both of the ones I ran, still run 1......are opens and the wind gets under the large tower top and leans it. My guess is with your convertible...
