Re: Time to get moving
I did a little research on the (don't shot me) new sea crafts. Most of them are running 150s. You would think will all the advance in faberglass and other materials the new girls are lighter. But like most of you have said it a give and take. speed/economy/ride. Well I'm several months from getting one. Plenty of time to do a little more thinking and get more advice. Sorry guy no work on the boat this weekend. Honey dos! Gotta keep her happy.

Re: Time to get moving
We've got a 130 yammie (91)on a 74 scepter. Tops out at 40, light with two on board swinging a 13.25 x 17 yamaha semi cleaver 5800 rpm (thanks Fr. Frank). Light, with the top down, we get a touch over 3.5 mpg.
We get a little over 3.125 MPG loaded for bear with 3 guys, gear and a 150 qt cooler with 80 lb of ice, 40 gal gas, slight chop with bimini up. Plenty of torque when you need it. We can't run faster than 30 unless it's really flat anyhow... Just my two cents. I believe there is 10-15% room for improvement when we find the "perfect" prop. Matt
