Re: 200 hp outboard on 23 Sceptre???
Best I can remember the Yami was a little more efficent. I still run the yami now. I ordered a fuel flow sensor (last night) to connect into my Lowrance HDS-7, so soon I will know exactly my fuel mileage etc. I'll post it up then.
The bottomline cruise numbers for a Sceptre 23 w/ a 225hp outboard should be 27-30 mph at about 10-12GPH
= 2.2 - 2.5 MPG . If you want to go faster you are going to have to pay exponentially $$ for that additional speed. Fr. Frank is right, and he must have been running a pretty loaded (lots of gear) down boat and full of fuel.
