    Default Bottom Paint or No Bottom paint

    Can anyone help with some statistics on a 26’ Billfisher? I am looking for the difference bottom paint makes in the performance and fuel consumption for a 26’ Blackman. So if you have a 26 can you please help by providing the following info:

    Hull type: Billfisher / Outer Banks / Express
    Bottom Paint: Yes/No
    Engine Model:
    Speed @ RPM:
    Fuel Consumption:

    Default Boat Stats

    1987 26' Billfisher
    1995 AD41P 200HP 4635 HRS. A-4 PROPS
    Bottom Paint
    Full Fuel and Full Bait Tank Speeds:
    3000 RPM = 15.2 nts
    3200 = 17.5
    3400 = 20
    3800-4000 = 24.6

    2.25-2.75 Knots Per Gallon depending on Cruise Time to Trolling Time Total Hours

    Higher Resale without paint; but it's a must if slipped in the ocean.
