This is night and day better than the 280's. The dock manners alone is worth the slight loss in speed. Yes the system monitor shows the fuel flow, but I had it set on water pressure during the run. Next time out I will check. I do know I ran from Cape Coral Yacht Club to Lovers Key, then to Cabbage Key and Back and only used a total of 40 gallons.

In the last FMO run to Naples, I ran 174.8 miles, burned 74.7 gallons in total, that’s 2.34 MPG, and that was with the T/300XS.
Like you said, dock manners and quite.
Motors like these, put the fun back in boating.

So here is an update. The boat is ruuning great! So far the best I ran was 98.9 mph with 4 blade clevers (still playing around I think there are a few more in her). Now that the boat is running perfect I thought I would updated the rest of the boat. So here are a few pictures I took before before it started to rain yesterday. I installed new side pannels, dash pad, had the gauges redone from gaffrig to livorsi, 2 new subs and amps, seat belts, foot steps, new engine grpahics and then gave everthing a good cleaning.

Great pictures. I have a 1990 Motion 25 and just picked up a pair of new 300xs. I would be interested in seeing more wiring pictures. My boat was last wired in the 1990's so I would like to get rid of a lot of the individual wire gauge wiring. I would also like to see things like trim pump mounting and trim actuator mounting. I need a pair of trim actuators, which mount to the mid. I don't understand why they cost so much.
What went smooth and what should I look out for.
thanks,
