Chris2000322 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2016 Ok, short version, went for a ride in a mint 2000 322, was blown away by the speed and handling. Sold my 40 mainship and purchased it. Here is the question, this thing has 7.4 volvo's with duo prop drives, I've owned several cruisers but never one with dual props. Trying to figure out a healthy and economical cruising rpm for this set up. On a test run, trimmed and tabbed with full water and fuel and full canvas up, 3 passengers 3300rpm is 35mph. That's gps. Boats seems a little loose, more like a off shore and just wants to run instead of a nice comfortable cruiser. Forget the numbers north of 4400 rpm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisCarroll 0 Report post Posted July 28, 2016 I have a 2000 322 with 5.7 Volvos. That sounds about right. It tends to walk a good bit as all the wait is in the stern. Even tabbed down it does the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When running 25-30 mph boat rolls on its right side. used the trim to level it....Pulled out for service and found both drives have RH props ...is this normal or should i have one LH rotation? Thinking this may be my roll issue???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakedace 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2020 Not 100% sure about volvos but my merc bravo 3 drives are both RH...my mechanic told me dual props are all RH spinning drives and don't need to be opposing like a single prop drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
