maybe.....i've never payed attention when i was running light
When a prop trims out and speeds up, there is a RPM gain.
If a jetboat is loaded down with fuel, lots of people, will there be a RPM gain if the load is taken off the boat?
Any thoughts on this? :idea:

Actually...as a prop boat gains speed, the prop unloads, therefore allowing the RPM gain.
A jet boat can give all thrust at once...from a dead stop you can achieve max RPM from a dead stop. The amount of people in the boat will have no effect on actual RPM, but will have an effect on max speed. This is because a jet boat can achieve max available thrust right out of the gate, but the weight of the boat, people, cargo, etc etc...will determine max available MPH.
To summarize, on a jet boat, weight has no effect on max RPM, but has everything to do with max MPH.
Make sense?
Like Jetaholic said, "no, there won't be".
No change.
if you want a little more rpm you will probably need to put a little more blocker in your intake loader and take a little bit of water away from the pump that might help the motor rpm.
Its not that I want RPM at all. It was just a question. I had 9 people in my boat this weekend and it just got my mind going.
gotcha .
You can tie your jetboat to a pier and it will still turn the same rpm.
Will the ski tow hold? Will the pier?

give it a try...and take a camera and cell phone.
