- Performance testing in rough water. This will represent what can be expected for performance and economy with this setup on an average day offshore.
2020 Freeman 34VH
2020 Mercury Verado 300 30" shaft
Mercury Enertia Eco 21p X 16" props
Calmer day and lighter load will yield better numbers.
She handled that very well but take care out there Champ
woahhhh. Those seas look crazy and the boat pounds over those short period taller swells. Thats nice!!! I am sure they will come out with even better models and have better outboards in the future. That thing is the ultimate full day fishing.
You must not fish much if you think those seas look crazy…
nice boat
if that is a rough day these boats wont make it in South Africa
I get 1.4 mpg at 37-38 on my 33T contender with twin 350s at 4,250 rpm
I get 13 mph with a gt stage 1 on a 177 sportsman's Fab.
What was the highest pitch prop you have tried with the merc 300s on that hull?
21.5P Enertia ECO is most pitch I have tried. It was a little too much. Ended up with a 20.5P and rpms run right up to 5900 light and 5700 loaded down.
@@robgrundwald thank you.
On your garmin is that the Yamaha auto pilot compass at the bottom of the port screen or just the garmin built in compass?
It has Garmin autopilot there is nothing Yamaha on this boat.
Have you played with any other prop options? The 300 V8s might be the ticket on the 34. Very close to sending Billy my deposit.
We ran a few different sizes of the Eco before settling on 21p. But haven't tried other prop models at all. The guys at Freeman insisted the Eco Enertia was the prop to use. checkout my latest video running this setup light and in smoother water.
@Swiftus Maximus That engine is no longer available but they did run good with this boat. Not as smooth and quiet as these and can't run on 87. I can run a 23P prop and that will lower the RPM and increase speed too but holeshot with a full load would suffer.
@@GulfSoftwash Not with these props.
@@GulfSoftwash you can’t get any twin engine 4 stroke boat up on the pad with a single engine
@@cwill114 yes you can, check out eastward horizon 3000. 33 feet with the bracket and will plane and run 37 mph on only 1 motor. Several other cats can plane on 1 motor also.
2’ chop is rough seas? 😂 nice boat. But a jon boat would handle 2’ chop lol
No it can't.
@@rafeone9808 if you say so pal, get it on the pad and let it eat. That’s no my rough water. That freeman was laughing at those conditions
What rough seas are you talking about ffs!!
Why don’t you guys get out into some rough seas and really see what your boat can do in a heavy sea.
You have a freeman ffs and all you want to do is 54,55.56,55,54 ffs.
Watch the end of video.
Most boat tests are done in smooth calm water. This was a windy day in bay which would be an average offshore day and what you would expect performance wise. FFS
