As for fuel, I am sure if so stay off the throttle its not all that bad. My 225 Evinrude was fine as long as I stayed off it, But hit that throttle and you might has well knock a hole it in the tank!!

Yes year of the OX we should have a great year!

That EVINRUDE you had MJ was one of the best carbed big 2 strokes for fuel milage ever built. The 3.0L MERCS are good on fuel as well though. If you keep the oil injection(which alot do on the 3.0L's since they were pretty good) they do use ALOT of oil. The one that we had averaged close to 35:1 on oil when running it at a 4200 RPM cruise, and it smoked like a SOB at idle.
