We're awaiting the final sea trial and the commissioning by Cummins. They wanted us to retune the wheels to see 93% load at 2600 RPMs. We pulled the wheels last week and took them to Charleston to have them reduced by 1 inch or so and tuned. We ran the boat Sunday and it's running smoothly at 2200 rpms 28 kts, 73% load, 2600 rpms 31-32 kts, 93% load. A little less then the previous engines, but we're looking forward to fuel savings.

Props are 26" diameter x 30.582 and 30.656 Class 1 Pitch
