Interesting, I thought the Garmin fuel flow sensor wasn't registering right but will look again Sunday. I don't idle troll much, more like 6-8mph for palagics most of the time. It pushes the boat really good at those speeds, 1,500 rpms to 2,000 seems to have tons of torque. I couldn't believe how fast it got on plane for such a heavy boat. I know it is an efficient hull but I may see an etec in my future. Now I believe the guy who told me a 200HO would probably be enough. I was sold on the four stroke torque curve and still like it but ohhh mamma!
