Fuel mileage
Been doing a little research about my new boat concerning fuel usage.
2005 McKee Craft 196 Marathon 150 yamaha 4 stroke 3100 rpm = 30mph @ 5 gallons per hour 5500 rpm = 51 mph @ 15 gallons per hour

Re: Fuel mileage
Franco:
I just installed a NAVMAN 2100 fuel management system in my boat and I think it's BROKEN! It says my old 235 burns 5 gallons and hour in neutral @ idle! You got to love the numbers you posted. Kamikaze

Re: Fuel mileage
You often cause the green eyed monsters to come to the surface there don't you. When such an extinguished man as yourself allows others to view the world you live in. No wonder you are called the Grand Puhbah, and I for one am proud to call you my close personal friend and confidant :-*

Re: Fuel mileage
Hey I'm glad to hear someones getting their hull wet *;D period. on that 235 that's why they are called 2 Thirsty 5 lol. They burn more at Idle than most at WOT lol. Willy i'm mad i'm not in the friend line ??? Guess i'll cut his email line and only send to Franco lol. ;D I'd love to get the same as you Franco on that 248 Coastal, that would give me a range of 750 miles. Oh yes that would be wonderful.

Re: Fuel mileage
i have an 80 gallon fuel tank, thats seems like 562.5 mile range using 90% of the tank at 30 mph
Sorry to pi$$ of you guys, I get great mileage but it sure is wetter than a V20. Hey Fish, I asked my father, sorry, he's not interested right now!!
