I WONDER HOW MANY GALLONS PER HR. THOSE FOUR WILL COST YOU??? MY GUESS 30-35 GPH AT AROUND 4200 RPM’S AND NOW LETS SEE 5 HRS OF FUN RUNNING TIME, HUM THAT’S 175 GALLONS OR GAS AT $2 PER GALLON THAT’S $350.00 BONES PLUS OIL, BAIT, ICE, ETC. SOUNDS LIKE THAT’S MORE FUN THAT I WANT IN ANY ONE DAY OF FISHING.

Man, I bet that it burns over 40gph! My single 225 merc burns about 15, and my old man's jupiter w/ twin 225 four strokes burns 25, so that thing has gotta really suck some gas. We had a 36 Fountain here a month ago for a striper tourney that had quad 250's strapped to it. Impressive, but until the lottery fairy shows up, I'd have to pass!

was that fountain the hooters boat?

[Doghouse4x4]

yup sure was. I almost didn't even notice the motors [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The Hooter's boat is a 38 Fountain Te with quad merc 250xs moters. The 38 gets around the same fuel economy with triple engines that it does with twins, and believe it or not, the quad set up gets around the same economy as the trips. It does burn a-lot per hour, but at 60-65 mph cruise, your looking at about 1.2 to 1.4 mpg. Although, I wouldn't want to be the guy paying for 2 stroke oil! The reason the fuel economy stays good is because the engines aren't working as hard.

by my calculations, that's 70+gph! Ouch. My wallet hurts thinking about that
