    well the sea trial went as best as possible in a creek( a very small creek I might add) but the mechanic did a very thorough job of going through things.

    1998 272 sailfish best possible fuel burn

    thanks for the response. I was looking at the new 4.2 liter225's but will run these till they start giving me a reason. Another question on those 2-stroke yammies- were they loud.

    1998 272 sailfish best possible fuel burn

    I am curious if anyone is running 4-strokes on this boat, and is it even worth thinking about repowering, offshore gave me a good chart for 225 oxss and an average of 1.6-1.7gallons per mile@ 3500-4000rpm. My sea trial is 09:00 on saturday and looking forward to riding in a grady!!!
