Hi Chris,
I have a Fisher 6400 with a full cab & hardtop. 23 deg deadrise & Q-Tabs. With 300L of fuel this a pretty heavy boat. I have a 175 spinning a 15 1/4 X 19 prop. I get up to 6200 easily so I possibly could go up in pitch but I won't worry as the boat can handle more than my back can.
I normally run around 4200-4500 & get up to 21-24 knots by GPS depending on tide & wind. Fuel use averaged is 1.6-1.7 Km per liter. I do not have a flow meter.
WOT gets me to 38-39 knots with 3 POB & a load of fuel.
