Much easier to play around with grounding etc for me when I’ve removed as much complexity as possible. I bought some backup lights recently and had to do this to f…Read more

First thing in morning with full tank, empty tank end of day, full live wells, empty live wells, biggun passengers, little kids.  69-70 all the time at 5800 rpm. Boat would just barely kick a rooster tail when running at optimal height. Fastest boat ever…Read more

I hoped for more top end. Kind of dumb to throw dumbbells back in the boat if I don’t have to. I have shifted as much tackle, etc as possible to the back and I lowered the motor to about…Read more

Figure 2-3 miles per gallon. 60 miles overalls in a day of fishing is comfortable. I’ll have 1/4 tank left. Much more than that and I’m in the last bar on my Yamaha fuel gauge and little uneasy.

Folks can correct me if wrong but a 33 gallon tank realistically gives you about 30 gallons of useable fuel. I have…Read more

I dropped about 120lbs out of the back of boat and naively thought I would gain speed. I was running 69-70 at 5800 rpm days before pretty much no matter what the load and now can only hit 5600rpm.  Top end is very temperamental now…Read more
