2550 RCB / ESP, Yamaha 300, Hydraulic power steering with power assist, Full vinyl floor, Jump seat, Changing room, Sony Blue tooth, Lighting package, In floor storage, 52" tow bar, Dual Batteries.
First run was today ran the boat about 3.5 hours cruising the North and Middle channels on Lake St. Clair, 5-10mph winds, 1' chop, varying the speed for break in.
Few issues noted front and side gate gaps.
Horn stopped working after getting wet.
WOT only 5400 RPM 41-42 mph - 3 people full tank of gas and gear (Little disappointed due to the fact that I took a 2550 out for a test drive with ESP and 225 yamaha and reached 42mph with it at WOT) other than that ride was awesome.
15.5 x 17p Saltwater Series 2 stainless prop (Prop Bennington recommended with setup)(This prop is the one used on the performance bulletin and said Test weight includes 1/2 tank of fuel, 2 batteries, safety and test equipment)
Anyone think something is wrong or just pitch needs to be adjusted.
Talked to the service at Miller Marine, they are going to change to a 15 pitch prop (he was even surprised that the prop had to be changed) to increase the RPM's and repair horn (said its a common problem)
Comments about the RPM's please not sure if anything I might be missing
