Has anyone done a comparison speed test fresh water to salt water same boat? Since I only run in salt I am curious. Do have a theory that any boat will run faster in fresh due to water density. Less prop slip and I think baot will draw a tad less water.

It`s a little faster in the salt water because salt water is more bouyant.

Faster in saltwater and with a slight chop.

Saltwater, as said before, is more bouyant and the chop gets the hull out of the water. Less drag.

That's why the Donzi's rule in the slop.
