Sounds like you’ve spent time behind a Ships Control ConsoleIs there a way to figure out the RPM (more accurate than the tach)at a particular speed for the purpose of determining the optimal or most efficient mph?
Interesting (or funny) you say that, many years ago I had a offshore performance speedboat with the twin engine setup and there was a gauge right between the two tachs to keep both motors ‘synced’ at the same rpm, then I got interested in changing props with different pitches / blade shapes and wound up working for a company called Prop Labs as a independent contractor evaluating & testing different setups, pretty amazing stuff what goes into the design of propellers.Sounds like you’ve spent time behind a Ships Control Console

Yea I’ve seen a couple peoples trucks and SUV’s at the marina where I launch my Boat most have a broken/missing blade lol.Interesting thought...
I wonder if you could mount something like this, power it up to 6-7000 rpm's.....wonder how much of a boost it would give you ???
That rpm is somewhere in the 60’s mph?. Try that on the NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway and you’ll be run off onto the shoulderNo chart or anything to back me up. Just my good 'ole seat of the pants experience and opinion on this one. But, what's new?
1500 rpm
Not sure if you're serious or not, but of course that would depend upon what gear you are in. 1500 rpm in 3rd is not the same as 1500 rpm in 10th.That rpm is somewhere in the 60’s mph?. Try that on the NJ Turnpike or Garden State Parkway and you’ll be run off onto the shoulder
