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.

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

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!

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

[nausetblue]

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

[macojoe]

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

[nausetblue]

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

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................
