so I've been calculating it out...ignoring maintenance of 17 yr old motors...
Low price for gas at dock - $3 gl
Low price for 2 stroke oil - $.40 per gl of gas ($20gl oil/50gl gas)...Pennzoil $20gl...Yamalube is $50gl
---- low price of fuel $3.40 gl
Canyon trip burned 220 gl for 3 hrs out/3 back /4 hrs running around and trolling 220/ 10 = 22 gph
Expect to run 100 hrs /season = 2200 x $3.40=$7480
Lets say 4 strokes knock it down to 15gph x 100= 1500gl...x $3.40=$5100
Lets round it to $2400/year fuel savings
Pair of zuki 200s- $34,000/10 years...$3400/year- $2400/year fuel savings= $1000/year for new 4 strokes
If gas higher=more savings
if run more due to more canyon trips= more savings
If keep boat more than 10 years= more savings
spending money SAVES money!
I wonder if my wife will buy that
