Re: Performance numbers
Sounds great! And trust me on this, you'll love the small fuel bill. I took my boat out July 4, with 5 adults on board, running at various speeds up 28 mph, but about half was no-wake speed of 5-6 mph. On the water for 9 hours, with about 1.5 hours where the motor was not running, including towing a disabled boat for about 2 miles. GPS says I covered 22.3 miles throughout the day. When I filled up the next day, I just managed to squeeze 3.2 gallons into the tank.
Yes. Absolutely true. I averaged 6.9 mpg through the course of the day. Beats the heck out of the old carb Merc XR4. That F100 may be just as good on fuel.
