Default Re: Very Nice 23 Sceptre, 225 Four Stroke, Awlg

Big Lew,
Thanks for the comments. My tank indicates 136 Gallons. I like the seat boxes from that later deck molds because of the additional storage and the fact that the seats are not at the end of a three foot pipe....which, I think would stress the fittings and the deck a lot more. The later molds also had a pretty good scupper arrangement.

Based on GPS and the Navman fuel totalizer, I am getting about 24MPH / 8GPH at 4,000 and 28 MPH / 10 GPH at 4,500. I suspect that I am getting a little better on the GPH because I never calibrated the Navman. I had the tank emptied this Spring because of concerns about old fuel and ethanol over the winter. I am keeping about 35 gallons in the tank with Startron for putting around and everything is great. In addition, the boat performs much better not hauling 800 pounds of gas around.
