    The best fuel economy - outboard on V

    I know mine turned 5900 with a 14x21 prop at wot, and 6100 with a 14x19, top speed was within a half a mph with the 19 being slightly faster. I ran the 21 most of the time because I liked the idea of lower rpms all the time. I don't know how the gear ratios compare between our motors.

    The best fuel economy - outboard on V

    Certainly not at the same time though. I never ran WFO much, only occasionally to beat a thunderstorm or dark.

    The best fuel economy - outboard on V

    I had a Johnson (Suzuki) 140 on my V20, cruising in the mid 20's I consistently got 5 statue mpg. Top speed was 39-40 depending on load. Mine was a 2003...I would think that technology has progressed in the last 17 years where higher hp motors should be able to match that economy...

    14 or 15???

    2x on its hard to find guns or ammo. It is possibly the worst time in recent history to try to buy a gun, used prices are at least double.

    14 or 15???

    I was actually just having this conversation with a buddy of mine last week. I don't have any experience with the Mini 14 so I was asking him what he knew, he said the 14's are prone to getting inaccurate when the barrel gets hot from firing a lot of rounds quickly. I like the look of the...

    Best ride in choppy conditions

    I never got around to putting trim tabs on my V20, but I do remember being able to trim the motor all the way down in a head sea and getting a greatly improved ride over the motor being trimmed up. I am sure trim tabs would have been even better. I had trim tabs on my Grady White Sailfish 25...

    King Mack Attack

    I love fresh King Mackerel. Sautéed in a hot pan with half butter, half olive oil and a little old bay sprinkled on each side.

    Yamaha Hood stuck

    I will give him that tip, thanks BR. According to Google, apparently Yamaha cheaped out on the latch material around 2016, they acknowledge the problem and will fix it, but the wait at the dealers right now is 3-4 weeks and he wants to use his boat now. To add to his problem, the oil pressure...
