BrandName,
I have a 1990 50 with the MAN 820s. How in God's name did you get her to 34 knots?!?! The most I've gotten out of mine is about 28. That was with a fresh bottom job, a little low on fuel and right after a valve job, wastegate rebuilds and a turbo job.
I also don't think we have that much range. What is your fuel tank set-up? We've got 1080 gallons in a forward and aft tank.
Do you burn one motor out of each tank or do you burn them both out of one tank and then switch!?
