So to the question: will the loss in fuel economy with the Rev4 be negated by the quicker planing time? This really matter when Muskie fishing Lake Of The Woods and fishing 10-15 spots a morning. That’s a lot of full throttle needed to plane. But also cruising several miles between spots. Might be a wash? And even at $8+ a gallon it still might be worth to pay it for the better performance?
