Have a little over 80 hours on the rebuild now, 900 miles on the odometer on my chart plotter. Myself and my better half have no kids for the week so we decided to put in here at Jupiter and take the ICW up to Hiram's in Sebastian for an overnight stay. 143 miles round trip, burnt 30.4 gallons. It took us around 5 hours of moving time each way plus a stop for lunch.
Still really happy with the Merc 150, it seems effortless getting up on plane and were cruising a nice 25 knots at around 5.5 gph. Better than average chance of getting a compliment or conversation starter from seacraft cult members at our lunch stops and marina stay. Every time I run the boat it is a rewarding experience, the hard work and long hours are getting replaced in my mind by good boat and fishing memories.
