A Spring day in Charleston. Finally got to run the boat for a while. I also saw a really nice 20' today recently repowered w/Yam 225 4S but couldn't get a pic. I've been asked to help pilot this one for a buddy this Summer and stopped to check on it. SWEEET!

How do ya like that ox66 ? And what kind of fuel econ do ya get with it?
I'm working on a 23 and will need some power in the future. Looking at all the options.
Thanks

Speaking of "SWEEET", your 23 looks great also!! To me that's the perfect HP for these boats....unless I get a great deal on a 300hp. You never outgrow the desire for more HP.

Thanks! The OX66 likes fuel and oil but runs strong. This is my 4th. Foot oil every year.Replace lp fuel pumps,hp pump screen, water pump every 2 yrs, keep the fuel clean, thermostats/poppit valves every 3 and they keep on running. (Knocking on wood) It gets ~ 2 mpg avg. With the 4 blade 17p Solas, tops low 40's and cruise mid-high 20's. Considering the additional weight of 4S I would probably go 300 Suzi or Yam at repower. I would prefer a single with this combo.
