228G Performance Info

[Grady_Crazy]

I was out today by myself and recorded the RPM and Speed. How does this compare to other 228Gs? F250 4 Stroke with just me and 3/8 tank of fuel. Water tank empty. Speed per GPS.
4200 RPM 29 mph Cruise
6000 RPM 43 mph WOT

Just Curious.

Sounds about right. I get those numbers. I had 4 on the boat yesterday and 4300 rpm we we crushing around 28. I turn a 4 blade prop with my 259000.

Cruise is just about dead on with mine. Top end for me with the right chop and wind just right is about 48 mph.

I was on a lake, no current, wind negligible, pretty calm, 3 blade prop. With the hardtop and radar dome I had to be real careful going under one of the bridges on Lake Greenwood. I had about 8" clearance and another I could no get under. Sure do get a lot of looks on this smaller lake in the big ole Grady.

That's about what my 226 running an F250 does as well. I max out at 5800 rpm turning a 17" prop.

My 226 with a 200 2 stroke runs about the same- 3800-3900rpm at 28mph on GPS @ 10.8gph, 5800 and 43mph WOT. No hard top.

My 228G with 4 aboard and full fuel and ice at 3800 cruises at 21 to 23 knots. I do have a hard top. This cost me about 500 RPMs to maintain the same speed. The top was well worth it. I have a 200 hpdi Yammy.
