    2019 Z19 fuel consumption

    Curious what Z19 owners with the new 200 4S are seeing gallons per hour?

    I know that this is a selling point and I get it, but if I spend 30,40,50k on a new bass boat and want it to be fast...……..I could care less about gallons per hour, no one here is 2 gallons away from there dream boat. People say "it adds up!!!" I say no it doesn't it only adds up if you...……………………...add it up?

    I put 35 Gallons in the boat when I first took it out. 8 hours on the outboard and still have over 1/2 tank. :)

    There's a thread in the 4S forum who has the new 250 and it consumes more fuel than his old 2S Optimax. Obviously less oil though ;)

    Probably burn more because after you test the hole shot the first time, you want to do it again and again because you will be so amazed at it. :) :)
