She's only worried about the operating expenses of owning a twin outboard.

Cheers,

Operating expenses have been quite low for me... Boat runs on 93oct and they sell premium plus oil at walmart for 19.95. I would imagine it's a lot cheaper and more efficient than a 100+mph i/o boat.. I think my boat holds 150 total gallons. I've had 130+ in there before.

I have a set up question. I have a Motion 25 with new 300xs. I now have 13 hours on them and I am only seeing 108. I am turning the props out, bolted to the transom, with offshore midss. The prop centerline is not quite 1 1/2" above and I have lots of water pressure. This week I plan rotating the props in, but I should I also install the manual jack plates. If I had 300x I would but the 300xs' are about 50 pounds heavier.
any ideas, My goal is to get to 112 mph. Oh I am running 15x34 three blade mercury cleavers.
