HOW the **** did you go from 40-250? thats more than 5 times.....

i mean, at most i see its being duble. if 50 bucks works for you now, 100 should make 2 motors working less hard do the same.

I'm used to boats with twins and I can't believe how much worse the gas is in the 342 with genset and twin MAGS. It really is that bad when you add up the weight and power it takes to move it. I'm crappin' you negitive..... I can watch the gauge go down.

your crappin my negative?

Also you guys with 342s do you use tabs all the time to get on plane? or does it jump up pretty easy? (my 252 never nees tabs)

whats you cruse settings? tabs/ drives? or WOT settings?

He's not shi@@ing you.......LOL

I have boxes and a high drive height (4.5) with 380 tabs and rarely use the tabs getting on plane. Maybe a little if at all.

At 50mph I set flat tabs and a couple ticks of trim.

Its just a big boat.

No, flat = straight with the bottom or up a little. I set mine flat/parallel and drew a line on the indicator. Mine doesnt blow drives out till its almost in trailer mode. You will lose speed before you blow them out. The number is arbitrary but probably 5.5 to 7.5 somewhere int he 6's when you are wide open. 2-3 at cruise.

so nothing on tabs (all the way up is flat) and just bumping the drive up a few clicks? at what point does it start to blow out the props? 7ish? or higher??

man now you guys have me scared. haha no matter it cant be worse then my parents full oaded 330 SS with the same motors and bravo 3s....

It jumps right on plane. No tabs needed.
