That sound a little hopefull for 5 MPG, I have a friend who is running a Ford 351 in a 24 Bayliner and he runs at 22-24 and says he gets a steady 2 MPG. He watches his fuel consumption pretty close. Would be great is that is the case. I am running a 23WA w/200 hp Merc so would be hard to compare. Probably about the same weight. The boat really rides great. I can get 44 MPH on flat water w/a ripple, running 5500 RPM, but that is probably sucking 16-18 gal per hour.
