Re: Gas use 250hp on 23' SC
I was at the harbor walking yesterday and one of our local boat builders was launching a new 26 ft aluminum hull boat for the Los Angeles Police Dept. It sure looked good with twin 200 E-Tec's on the back. I talked with the crew and they said they last time they had ran a flow scan hooked to the 200's that they were getting 14gph at @4200 rpm. I would have thought it would be a little better, but he said the boat weighed around 6400 lbs. They were really quiet and ran smooth, but he did stall one while running high rpm pulling/back off the trailer, really put out a cloud of white smoke, but remained quiet, the prop wash was louder than the motor running.
