Hi,

recently purchased a Birchwood 25.  Very happy with the boat and had our first outing last week.  I was wondering though wha spped I should expect from the boat - I'm currently getting 5 mph at about 1900rpm - it's the Ford petrol engine - what RPM should it rev up to?


Thanks.

Hi Fdisk! Welcome to the forum!

I have a diesel engine on my boat and our rev-counter's broken so I've no idea what sort of revs to advise but...

... we always travel at about 4 - 5 knts and that seems qwuite comfortable for us.  Much more than that and (on our river system at least) we're leaving a lot of wash and making the ducks bob up and down too much!

Whereabouts are you based?

'Nimue' is our Birchwood 25 berthed at Tiptree on the River Great Ouse. - http://www.nimue.co.uk

Sounds about the same as No Regrets which is fitted with the Sea Tiger!

Just under 2000rpm is the correct Thames speed, 5mph.

I seem to remember 1800rpm, but then it depends which direction one is travelling in...

'No Regrets' is now a beautiful Broom 30, berthed in Bray, on the River Thames. I used to own a Birchwood, honest!
