Really happy so far!

came back from vacation. ran 36.5 hours in the week, both canal and open water , averaged 15 gal /hour for the trip!

had another ride more of an open water and did 22 gal / hour. aint bad at all!!

mostly between 3000 and 3500 rpm running between 42 mph and low 50 mph...

boat runs perfect!

Just came back from scale at 1/8 of fuel and pretty empty on water
17468 total weight and 1850 tongue weight
With 280 gal of fuel it gives exactly what i thought meaning 19000 pounds.
My 357 formula was 16000 with fuel, so it aint that bad!

Had a chance to go back on scale with empty myco trailer tonight. Trailer weight is 3288 lbs so boat weights in at 14200 lbs with very little fuel!

Last season you mentioned you were going to refresh the engines over the winter. Did you have a chance to do that? If so, I am curious what kinda of speeds you are seeing at WOT?

jeff32 06-14-2016 08:50 AM

unfortunatly i did not! so I'll have to be easy again on throttle this year cruising 50 mph... always too much work to do it... guess i should quite my job!
fall project... early fall, like mid september is my goal, before taking the sleds out for winter!
