Don't know about the other boats, but I had a 2000 Baja 272 with a MPI 502 and loved the boat, thats why I bought another Baja, good in rough water and will get up and go, never check the MPG, didnt care. Friend of mine has the same set up and he got 2.5MPG at 3000 revs running the Emerald coast last week.
That a baja 272 with a single big
Block would get 5mpg cruising maybe 2.5mpg all out
Since they are light
Thanks matt

4400 lbs is not light for a 27 footer, if u want economy get a pontoon, if want a performence boat step up to the pump.

Compared to a 27 fountain fever that weighs 5000lb it's lighter I'm just trying to figure out what I can get close to 5mpg as far as steping up to the pump my current boat has you covered at 1.4mpg but that's not what I'm trying to find out here I know how to burn gas just don't want to spend $200 for one trip in gas alone
Thanks matt

I see if that's the case I might be better of with two big blocks atleast it's gonna be fast and I'll have two engines in case something happens
