LOL He can still turn the RPM, the boat is a lot lighter so he isn't really taxing the motor and lugging it per se. He just wants to be able to cruise 80 at 4000 rpm and go all day on 25 gals of fuel. Currently averaging 6 MPG as I understand it..
Plus he added I-command gauges.. Which I like better than the SmartCraft..

Yep, I know who he is. He's asked me some diesel and other questions before. The ETEC has proven to be VERY picky on prop set-up, but his light weight hull I'm sure makes a big difference.
