I am sure that this has been discussed on this site before, so can anyone direct me to a source for some standard numbers of the real life expected cruising speed, fuel usage, rpm at 80% and WOT for a standard 2002 Island Gypsy Europa with the 330 Cummins and probably stock propeller? I cranked it up to 2600 rpm the other day and was moving at 12 knots. Am a little skittish with opening it up all the way, but am curious with other people's experiences. Always good to know for planning purposes if need to get somewhere fast. By the way, I usually cruise at 14-1800 rpm and 7-8 knots.
