Other notes:
At 1600-1800rpm engine runs best without foulling plugs and creates best water....tried engine up but little difference. Also used Red Bull cans as teasers. Noticed largest lure with angled face worked best at all speeds...but under 7 knts all my others with cupped or rounded faces performed poorly. 75 naut miles with 30 @ 23 knts and 45 @ 7 knts ..don't have fuel use gauge but overall ran at around 12ltrs/hr.
