Boat would run 120-122 at 6200 very light on fuel and people
Last time I took the boat out in the fall I saw 117 on the GPS with 9 people and a half tank.
I would normally cruise @3800-4000 and run high 70's to 80 depending on trim.
Would peg the limiters with 40's on so switched gears and dropped to 17x33 five blades and the boat ran amazing.

Which 46 did you get? most of the 46's with staggered 1075's are in the 102-110 range from what I recall, depends on cover-girl or half cover-girl cabin as well as some other amenities. I looked at a few of the triple bravo boats with thought of doing what you are doing, very cool and lots of work. also double check with either Phil or the factory to see if there is any diff in the deck configuration for a triple vs a stagger, like if the engine room is bigger, smaller cockpit, or shortened deck. post some pics.
