PrimeTimeBob, I have a stripped down Bowrider with the 90 HP, 20" (2 to 1 gear) E-tec Triple. I have the boat down to maybe 1400#'s because I almost always have a load of 'Stuff" in it, plus 3 people that pushes me back up to almost 3000#'s when I'm the water. I have recently settled on at Power Tech 13" X 14" wheel and the following occurs - planes at 3000 RPM, makes 18.9 knots at 3400 RPM, Spools up to 5300 making 29.8 knots. It is unbelievable on fuel at 1500 RPM or less. I ran idling between 1000-2000 in two Christmas Boat Parades last year and logged 46 miles on the plotter. I topped the tank off with 5-1/2 gallons. If you "mash" on my name it should take you to my home page where it has a "Dredge Marshtackie" Album. (It's the only boat on this site with rust streaks running down the hull) BTW - the 25" E-tec 90 triple has the larger and lower ratio gear-case on it that is the same as the 150 - I believe. I hope this adds to you assessment of all data.
