John,
Although I'm no expert, I think the gas hogs are the carb'd and/or EFI models. The Optimax versions are better on fuel because of the DI technology.

[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Well thats what a gas hog is. I have been out of powerboats for sometime. Been into sailing and fire up the old yanmar diesel and go out and go sailing. I bought the 125 h.p

Can anyone translate the words "gas hog" into numbers?

i.e. => x.x GPH at xxxx rpm
