It is really a nice boat and Don is a super nice guy.

Keith - thanks for your comments. If my wife and I weren't about to have a baby I would not be selling this boat - I LOVE IT. Unfortunately, with Nancy being pregnant, we have not been out on it since October and I doubt if we will be boating much this summer...

No problem! Hate to see you sell it, but I understand. Now you can get a slow gas guzzler like mine. Then we can both cry at the pump!

couldn't really tell you the efficiency in terms of mileage - but if I were to guess, I would say it is at least 2mpg if not more. Before I bought this boat I had a 29 Fountain Fever with a 525SC motor. I used at least twice the amount of fuel in that boat as I do in the Motion.

You will have a hard time wearing out a set of 300's
Put good oil and gas and they will last a long time.
I have a set of new xs's and really like them.
My 3rd pair of 300's.
The 225's are great motors as well
On most twin outboard set ups the gearcases are the weak link.
