I have to say one thing about this HONDA, it is pretty stingy with the fuel useage. Took it out most of the day SATURDAY fishing, and it ran for a good portion of it idling or trolling, then took it out again Sunday running on the river for 2 hours, and it still didn't even burn 8 1/2 gallons of gas. The 2 trips before that we took it out and ran for a good 30 minutes out to an island to go swimming, then ran offshore to do some trolling, ran 10 miles south to another beach, all the way back in, then ran up the ANCLOTE RIVER, and back to the river. Then I took it out another time where we ran down the WEEKI WACHEE RIVER and offshore a bit to look around, then ran all the way back up the river almost to the spring in the park, and looked at some houses off the side canals, and after those 2 trips it still didn't use but maybe 11 gallons of gas. I'm not burning much more fuel with the 75HP HONDA than my old 35HP JOHNSON did on the 16 foot jon boat going a heck of a site slower. It may have some quirks I really don't like(the main one being it weighs almost 400 pounds), but it is good on fuel. I've yet to use a full tank of fuel in 4 trips.
