Okay I have a stupid question is your rates given per motor or is that both:party-smiley-004::readinghelp::stupid:
Ex. I get 1 MPG but I have 2 motors so that is .5 a side? I am not the fastest and have only had twins for a few months of use please help...

Griff 03-03-2011 02:30 PM

That is mpg total, not mpg per engine.

For me:
38 straight-bottom Top Gun, big cubic inch N/A's (800HP) with #6's.

I figured out last season that I average .88 mpg at cruise. 4000 rpm's is right around 60-62 depending on water conditions.

WOT.....don't want to know.:eek:


Craig

Jimmy,
Was burned out by Monday afternoon and left a little early. Let me know next time you are going to be at TNT and I will stop by to see the boat. Our facility is about 20min from TNT also.
