Thats exactly what the mechanic said Ferm, he has seen it dozens of times.
I ran the boat again today, see the fishing post, it is running fabulous. 29-31 cruise at 38-3900 rpm. Trimmed up a little with two big guys and a full tank all the gear and coolers that 200 Evinrude gets that heavy boat right up on plane and max's out rpm at 5400-5500 rpm. I think a 225 would be perfect for her but from what I hear the gas use would be much higher. Right now I have run her fishing all day today, and we were running a lot, for about three hours last week, a little high speed running trying to blow it out the week before and the same for about twenty minutes the day I launched her. Still have not hit 3/4 on the tank yet. I am happy with the economy as she is. My buddy with the 25 Maycraft and a single 4 stroke 225 Yammie goes through a lot of gas with his rig, it would kill me to have that kind of fuel economy now, gas is $4 a gallon at my marina and higher other locations nearby.
