I run a Yami 225 (2 stroke) on my 23' Sceptre with a very smooth bottom with
No bottom paint. I cruise at 30 mph at 4200 rpms and use 11 gph netting out at around 2.70 mpg.
WOT is 39 mph at 5200 rpms at 17gph netting out about 2.2 mpg. I run a 17 pitch
3 blade aluminum prop that is in mint condition. I also have a pretty stout hardtop
With rigging that creates some wind resistance. My motor is a 1988, but has a newer
Powerhead (1998) with about 500 hours on it.
