Fuel burn is very very high. Top speed 50MPH at 5000RPM.Cruise at about 25MPH at 3500RPM or 20MPH at 3000RPM.Below 20MPH fuel burn is high as if working hard to try and plane out,Would like ti increase top speed under load..Eight people om boat. Speed towing is fine.As I told some else if didn't have such a nice swim/seat on the rear and ride so good I would have bought an outboard the are much quieter and less gas and don't need to be winterized.
