I went 100 miles in my boat on tuesday in search of tuna with no love so dont feel bad. I am guessing 25-30 gallons

See? You could have got the same for $0.00 with my boat. :sun:

You have a great boat ! Joe just thinks he is better than all of us now with the 4 stroke,but that will change when i get a 5 stroke :bsflag:

That's not bad....for 100 miles I'm burning a min of 40 gallons!

I have the yamaha 200 hdpi which seems to get great mileage,love joes 4 stroke though as its so so quiet. My boat is a 21 center console and pretty light,its like 2300 pounds dry weight and 3500 or so rigged with gear. We drive it pretty slow 30-34 mph or so but overall its very fuel efficient.

that Contender has nothing on the OX!! a tenth of the cost!:hide:

No really its nice boat and we are at the same price now with all my improvements. And we are getting the same gas mileage with the 4 stroke on mine, and my boat is 3300 pounds before I add all my gear!

I am going to rename Bobs boat to Queenie :nut:

Bull**** you are into the ox for more than I am into the contender the only sucky thing is mine is worth more than i paid for it :hide:

Maybe I a grand more?? But I have a 4 stroke thats worth more then my boat!! :hide:

Your boat is much more comfortable than mine as well and the chicks dig your cuddy cabin. Fish love mine better but thats not why you are out there :sand:

Johnson 150 hp looper carb'd engine - one of the most reliable outboards ever made.

If the rebuild is top shelf - done right, it will last you a long time.

I had one of these. Of course it smokes some when cold, and keep the carbs clean, but it will run, and run, and run................
