Fuel efficient hp

[Steplift 72']

There's such a range of equipment and load on boats..... A very lightly loaded V20 will run OK with a 115 2 stroke, but a 150 will push them light or heavy. The boats with 200 or more horsepower will fly, somewhat over 50 mph depending on load and prop. The old Alim's were designed as raceboats, but in those days a raceboat had a totally different meaning than today. My 72' model ran well with 135 hp, but I didn't even have a radio or bilge pump so you could say light load to the extreme with only the factory twin 20 gallon saddle tanks. There's no more efficient bilge pump than a scared man with a 5 gallon bucket, and it still works even if your battery fails.
