Of those of you with the 2GM 13, what kind of cruising speeds can you get in flat and choppy water.
I am a little disappointed in the performance of my engine/prop. I can not cruise anywhere near hull speed. To get up over 4 kt.s the engine gets pretty loud and vibrates A LOT!
I think part of my problem is I need a new cutlas bearing. Most of the vibration seems to be coming from the prop end.
I was really disappointed with the reverse thrust. I know that folding props all are weak in reverse but I was a little scared the first time I came into a dock. If it weren't for a good spring line I would have been in trouble.
