Well, I have put over 5 hours on the motor and she is a screamining mimi!!!
I installed my Lowrance GPS and here are my final numbers using these factors:
1. Me at 290 lbs my partner at 210 lbs.
2. Both livewells full of water
3. Full tank of gas
4. Full load of fishing gear ready to fish a tournament (Plus some)
Running 5600 RPM's she will turn 74.1 MPH this is a 28 Raker prop
According to several sites I am getting 7.8% prop slip this is great from what I have read.
Gas mileage![]()
This thing makes GAS
I have run over 100 miles so far and it appears that I am getting somewhere in the 4 to 5 MPG range...
I will have better numbers on fuel mileage once I have run through a tank of gas I am still above half a tank now

With GAS prices at $2.19 here in East Tennessee I can go a long way on 50 gallons!!!
The E-TEC gods are right on with this motor!!!![]()
