Gas use 250hp on 23' SC

Sleeto · #1 07-26-2005, 09:12 AM

Can you guys who have 23' with 250 hp OB's give me your fuel consumption #'s. I would like to see if mine is in the ballpark and also to see if it would be worth the $ to buy a new motor.

Thanks!! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My 250 ox66 Yamaha guzzels the fuel as well. I figure something to the tune of 13-14 gph at 4000 rpm. Are you seeing the same thing? Dink

The 225 OX66 on my father's Sceptre is burning about the same amount as Rich's 250.

That's about what I am getting at 4400 rpm. At 34-3500 I am between 10.8 and 11.4 gph.

How do the new engines compare to these #'s?

I know there are some mechanical adjustments that can be made by a Yamaha technician. I will have a pro do a tune up in the fall and see if the numbers improve.

Paul,

do you find it somewhat funny that we are both posting about performace of our respective SC engines, at the same time?

see you in newport.

Guys,

Those numbers are nothing. I have twin 1998 Yamaha 150's carb pigs and I bet that I burn close to 20 gallons per hour at around 4,200 RPM's (31 or 32 MPH)

Im around 15-16 gph on my 1991 250vx. I'm getting a 250 4 stroke as soon as I can afford it.
