Re: POWER ON A 23 FOOTER
FELLOW-SHIP,
I have a 250 Merc EFI on my cuddie/scepter 23' and it is just about right. I had 3 people and 140 gal of gas and it ran just fine. Top speed of 45 on the GPS. With a full load of gas, it is a little slow getting up on plane, but with a half tank, it does just fine, even with 4 people on board. I ran over about 75 miles of ocean on Thurs and burned about 41 gals of gas. How does this stack up with what everyone else is seeing on gas consumption. I thought it was a little excessive, but I have no way to gauge it. My 22' center console would burn about 25 gals in the same trip with a 150 Rude (carb luper motor).
