Saltwater Series are not Optis. MJ, you might want to consider wing nuts on your motor mount bolts. All kidding aside, those motors are tough. I think BS will tell you the same. If you don't have to put the throttle handle on the dash all the time the fuel consumption should be okay. I know what I would do if I had a heavy Sea Ox. Let's face it, most 2 stroke engines aren't very good on gas. Catch a few more fish to pay for the gas.

See Saw See Saw See Saw What am I to do?? Time is money right now!! Fluke will be done this week till next year, Bass have been slow for even the best of the crowd, Sea Bass & Scup are now on the menu but not paying a ton.
