thanks for all the knowledge ferm.. and your right, the 200 has a hard time with that boat.. right now the 200 is running a 15x17 omc stainless prop.. i try and cruise around 4000RPM, but seas will vary that and i've had to run up to 4400RPM.. hopefully will get the fuel flow sensor up and working this weekend to get exact numbers.. last time offshore it was 3 to 4 foot seas all the way 40 miles out.. trolled allday.. ran 40 miles back in 2 to 3 foot seas.. burned roughly 90 gallons of fuel..
i agree with you and think the boat needs a 250.. so i'll suck it up and keep feeding my 200 fuel until i find a 250
