A 53 with naturals should do 9 to 9.2 kts at 1500 rpm in water deeper than 10/12’.
If it takes 1800 either the boat isn’t propped right or there is a problem somewhere. Could be the tachs but there is a Pretty big difference in noise between 1500 and 1800.
What does the survey say? If the surveyor did his job it should give info on sea trial results including speed and temps at various RPM

Re: Pretty Much Loaded And Ready To Go... Again
Can’t say I’ve ever seen anybody under-prop a motor yacht before. It’s generally the other way in a misguided attempt at more speed at lower RPM.
My only concern is this boat getting to MS. They can play with it after that. Again, it’s happy at this RPM. First refueling will be interesting.Randy Register - Kingston, TN

Here you go, Skyward. Your requested cliff photo. Took video too, but that’s a bit more difficult to share.

Re: Pretty Much Loaded And Ready To Go... Again
Made it into Jacobsen’s in Frankfort a little while ago. Boat ran great, but there is definitely something goofy going on. Docking this thing, even in dead calm, requires quite a bit of throttle. Almost zero response just putting it into gear at idle.

Re: Pretty Much Loaded And Ready To Go... Again
Survey says?
What's the prop size?
Are the transmissions connected? Shafts and key ways correctly installed?Scott

Re: Pretty Much Loaded And Ready To Go... Again
Okay, Brenda found the sea trial. 26x28 props which reportedly turned 3,000RPM @ WOT. Say do what?
