I have a 375lb Mercury Optimax 90hp. I have the Seafari 20, so I have more weight forward than the CC. WOT with normal load is 33-34. Cruise is 22-24 mph at 5.3 to 5.7 mpg.
I had tremendous problems with ethanol with this motor (12K in warranty repairs), but no problems since I stopped using blended gas.
