Changing sportfish yacht props to trade top speed for fuel efficiency at cruise speed
Hey everyone,
Looking for feedback on a Hatteras 54 with twin Cat C32s. It’s currently reaches ~45 knot top speed, but I want to optimize fuel efficiency at a 22 knot cruise.
Has anyone with a similar heavy sportfish been in a similar position or re-wheeled to drop top-end for better mid-range GPH?
Open to any suggestions, experience, or thoughts before I talk to a prop company.
