So right now I have an 87 Baja 240 Sport with a Tyler Crockett 502 making 610 HP, new Bravo drive and a great sound system.


I just seen this boat come up for sale semi close to me:

1985 Sonic 33 RS

Can you tell much how much worse fuel consumption will be from MY said Baja to this Sonic?


Thanks a lot guys,

Jack

2X .... not to mention 2x the problems. looks like a clean boat though.

If your worried about fuel get out of boating lol

I would say the fuel is least of concerns, more about hull and maintainence issues, if you do your own work it will not be bad, but if you have to pay someone to do everything then maybe go newer so the issues are less...

Ok I will put it out there now that I DO MY OWN WORK. My question is the Fuel.

Pretty much 24 ft boat with BAD ASS built 502

VS

33 ft boat with stock 454 twins

Rough guess, 30% more. Could be double if you run WFO everywhere.

LOL another good question is Lake St Clair evening going to have enough water level for boating next year?

I say go for it. If you don't like the fuel consumption you can always sell it and go back to a single.

You'll never know unless you just do it.

And BTW, fuel consumption is all in the trim......................................the trim of the throttle position.

That boat was for sale in Holland for alot more money several months ago. Maybe someone is dumping something that has a major problem.

That boat will give you about 1.2 mpg and 60 MPH top speed. If you're happy with that go for it.
