My gas usage

[macojoe]

So I filled my tank today,

Old Boat
1975 V20 Cuddy w/175 Evinrude Looper
One day Fluking I would use 18 gal

New Boat

1984 23' Sea Ox Evinrude 225 Looper
One day of Fluking 20 gal

Thats 2 gal more a day for twice the boat!! I am very happy with that!!

[Mac_Attack]

:beer:What the fluke do we care!



Those are very nice numbers MJ. I'm glad its working out right. Billy Mac

[charlie_the_tuna]

How is a 23' boat 2X a 20' boat?

Loose the fancy schmancy text too while you're at it. :bat:

[macojoe]

Your right CB, its 10 x the boat!!

[phester]

you dissin' the V20 MJ ? Remember, as moderator of this site you've got an image to project. [BTW, those #'s aren't half bad]

[Pipe_Dream]

Twice the boat . . . I hardly think so.

[charlie_the_tuna]

7/8ths the boat maybe.

possibly 15/16ths.

CTT.....I just noticed the toy diver in green Jello LMFAO that is hilarious.:you:

[Seacrets]

How many miles did you go on 20 gallons? If you went 30 miles, that's 1.5 mpg. If you ask CB, he'll tell you his 4 stroke actually makes gas. Just stiring the pot. By the way, with your new font, shouldn't you be on some fancy schmancy yacht web site. Next, you'll be wearing a blue blazer and white cap, hanging out at "The Club".

[Stillrunning]

When his foot goes through the floor lets see if he still says its twice the boat!!! LOL

Since when do we allow Sea Ox owners to brag about their boat in this WELLCRAFT V20 forum.:bat: Can they even be members?:head:

My vote is he can keep posting as long as he wears the white captains hat from now on and calls CB "Little Buddy".

[macojoe]

I am getting about 2 to 2 1/2 mpg and thats good by me!!

And I had my V for 9 years, it was a great boat, but I came in today at 27 kt's in 2 footers and still have a back and teeth to prove it!!

As for me posting here, lets just say when you own it you can do what ever you want!! :nut:

[willy]

Basically MJ just gave you all the sign YOUR NUMBER ONE WITH ME:nut:

A V20 runs rough in 2'?

The carvel flys across the tops of 2' at 40 knots+. Just got to close the eyes when the spray hits. Same at 3'.

[randlemanboater]

I think MJ's V rode a little rougher because of the bracket causing the boat to ride with the bow higher and thus the seas being taken further back where there is less deadrise........but thats just a theory.

My V-20 takes 2-3 foot seas as good or better than my old 25' Grady White.

[macojoe]

Hmmm.........................

[Seacrets]

Let's give credit where credit's due. MJ did lighten up the stern for the bracket install. He removed his bilge pumps.

[tsubaki]

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO V-OX?
Thought that was the only admiral way to talk about the boat here.
It is expected for you to change your signature to that.

[Blue_Runner]

MJ that would be amazing if your boat will do a 100 mile round trip on 40 gallons. If so that would mean you and I get the same MPG!
:clap:
Where can I get one of these V-Oxes?

Mine does a 100 miles on 20 gallons.
:butt:

[Blue_Runner]

Heck I can do 100 in about 10 gallons with mine.....on the trailer. :you:

[CaptJJ]

100 miles on 1 gallon of gas, a pair of oars, a blonde about this high with a flat beer table head, 2 cases of bud light and bottle of Patron. "Time is on my side" then.

You forgot toothless and mute!!

[macojoe]

At 2 mpg and 110 gal gas thats 220 miles on one tank!! But I am pretty sure I am doing a hair better at 2 1/2 mpg that means I should be getting close to 275 per tank!

Thats fine by me!! :laugh:

Glad you are liking it MJ.
