Default Re: 23' CC Power - new member - first post

I am a newbie so some of this discussion gets a little granular. I did 40 mph measured by a garmin GPS in my 23' CC from Chatham to Hyannis with a 2003 2-stroke Evinrude Ficht. All the power needed to get up fast and just go. One thing I don't see discussed much is the noise. My daughter is a competitive sailer and we use the boat to coach/watch events. Spend time around four-strokes and you yearn for the quiet when operating at slower speed. As to fuel costs, one needs to take into account how much use the boat will get in a year. Sometimes granular evaluation of MPG or GPH is moot.
