Anyone have a video of a Fleming at 8kts? Or any other similar S/D at 8kts?

No video... but my 40 with a 34 WLL throws a big enough wake at 6.5 knots that slowing down a bit is required to not upset marina dwellers.
The WLL is what determines speed and wake.
No video but I can tell you that any SD boat over 40' is bow level at 8 knots.
What is it you are trying to see? Wake? Or what life is like at 8 knots?
It seems like 8 knots is a good speed for a lot of boats, even a Fleming
Couple pics of 56’ waterline x 16.5 beam. 61 tons disp. at 8 knots 6 gph and 10 kts. About 3 times the gphView attachment 124614

Trawlercap,
Your boat is FD.
Extremely over driven in top pic.
Ask Codger2 for a picture of his 34 Halvorsen at 8.5 knots.
Hi, I was thinking wake. But, now that you mention it, what is life like?
This thread could be dead real soon or it could get interesting.

Because I have a Helmsman 38 on order, as you might imagine I have collected some clip links as I shopped. The one below shows life at 7 knots under the eye of a training captain. At one point one can see the 7 knot speed on the chart plotter. At this speed one has time to think, assess, react.
Nice looking H38E videos, I like the one filmed in San Diego, looks a little familiar.

LOL. I know John. It was an oversight on my part not to cite the attribution. Its a nice video of a great boat. Miss it?
Someone above wanted to see a Fleming’s wake…big boat and big wake. (Repositioning so short run)
It's like a grownup version of double tubing! What size Fleming is that?
That looks almost like a planing wake to me.
For comparison, the pictures below show my boat's wake at 5.5, 6.5, and 17 kts.

Eric said "It's amazing how similar Willys wake at 6 knots looks almost like rslifkin's much bigger boat.His pic is in post #17 above ctr. Our wake from Willy looks like 18hp made it ..... and it did.
