Hi Guys, I have a 1976 36 and it was repowerd with 3208 cats.I cruise at about 10 knot @ 1000 RPM.When i get close to my home marina I open her up to clean out any shalac and criuse at about 12 knots at 1300 RPM for about 3 minutes.Love the cats.We use them on our drilling rig and they take alot of abuse.My friend has 600 cummings turbos but a planning hull and sucks the fuel bad vat 1300 RPM.I will keep following your info.
