I have a Volvo MD22 powering our Bavaria Ocean 40 CC. I can reach hull speed of 7knots or so at 1800 RPM. I remember with our Yanmar the recommendation was 80-85% of max RPM is where you should cruise.

max RPM for MD22 is 2800/3000

You can go 2800 less 500

my crusing speed is 6,5 / 7,5 knods at 2000 rpm
