Lee,
Somewhere between 0 and 10 or more depending on speed and load. 5 is a good average to start with and then see how it runs best once it is in the water. To bounce start the engine you will need something in the area of maybe even 20.
Are you going to bring your Palmer look alike to Mystic? Hopefully you will be able to make it with the new boat too.
Hope this helps
