8.4 knots 30 SHP
8.7 knots 37 SHP
9* knots 45 SHP
*This figure is the absolute maximum recommended cruising speed. Speeds in excess of this figure require inordinate increase in power and should not be attempted.
All speeds are in knots per hour. To convert to miles per hour, divide by .87. Horsepower is given as constant 24-hour rated SHAFT HORSEPOWER (SHP); NOT brake horsepower (BHP), nor intermittent ratings. It makes no difference if the engine is diesel or gasoline powered.

Inches of immersion = 1" per each 1,118 lbs added.
