North Sound Afternoon Cruise
Skipper: Scott Karren
Guests: Thomas Karren, Robert Karren
Weather: Mostly cloudy, 15K winds, showers
Seas: Rough and choppy with 3 to 4 foot waves
Engine Hours: 5.1-7.8
Destination: North Sound Locations including Shilshole and Edmonds
Kids are hooked on the Motorcat 30. They wake up in the morning and ask when we are going out.
Cruised to north end of Bainbridge Island, east to Shilshole, north to Edmonds and back to Kingston.
Waves were 4 feet tall and short and choppy. Boat handled well, but was most comfortable at 4000 RMP in the rough water. At higher RPM and sppeds, the props would cut through the top of the waves and race to 5500 RMP.
Speeds and RPM for the day's testing were as follows:
3500 RPM 11 MPH
4000 RPM 13 MPH
4500 RPM 16 MPH
5000 RPM 19 MPH
Docked again at the guest slip while I modify the trailer.
Maintenance Issues:
Fuel primer bulbs a bit difficult to reach.
