Thanks.

ZF-300 ATS, 2-speed, first gear: 1,118 second: 0,875.
28/18" or 29/16,75, 5-blade Mercury Racing.
The 28/18 turning in has the best feel so far. Not so sensitive to trim and good grip. The 29/16,75 is a few miles faster but more sensitive in racing conditions. Will try some more propellers later this week.

What speed does it do in first gear.

Thanks

About 68-70 mph.

Out testing yesterday together with Johan Lagher and his Impera 30.
Johan is owner/skipper off one of three Swedish boats in next years Venture Cup-race to MonteCarlo. His co-driver yesterday was former F1-racer Thomas Eriksson.
The plan is to have one landcrew together headed by Thomas. I was joined by Michael Backhufvud who was my co-driver in RB 2008.
We had a really nice 3-5 ft sea and everything worked perfect - except my two GoPro cameras! Both failed and we only got some iPhone-photos.
Better luck next time...
In about amonth the ice comes creeping so we hope to get a couple of more testruns before the winter. Really crisp in the air, 5-10 degrees, and the engines like it.

The wind came from land so we had to go 10-12 Nm out into the Baltic Sea to find some waves.
