What we do know is the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maneuvering at speed seems unaffected by the addition of the second prop skeg.<\/li>\n<li>The increased drag of the second prop and full skeg appears offset by the swim step extension&#8217;s drag reduction.<\/li>\n<li>With the Gori feathering prop in normal pitch mode, wide open throttle reaches 3400 RPM&#8211; so there is sufficient margin for a fully-loaded boat in head seas (engine prop curve needs only 3200 RPM).<\/li>\n<li>It looks like 8.5 knots should be possible at around 2800 revs when the prop \u00a0is in overdrive mode.<\/li>\n<li>Maneuverability appears good on the get-home engine at slow speed. Clockwise turns are favored with the offset, of course, but counterclockwise also works.<\/li>\n<li>Wide open throttle on the main engine yields in excess of eleven knots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We shall update again when more data is available.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"Avatar-Seatrial-012.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/Avatar-Seatrial-012.jpg\" alt=\"Avatar-Seatrial-012.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"444\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"20120126-016.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120126-016.jpg\" alt=\"20120126-016.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"601\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" title=\"20120126-017.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/20120126-017.jpg\" alt=\"20120126-017.jpg\" width=\"648\" height=\"450\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And now for something different.
