Phil,
The boat is used mostly on Lake Michigan loaded with me, (270 lbs), the wife, (160 lbs), wifes purse, (50lbs),good for nothing dog, (30 lbs), 12 gallons fuel, and not much else other than saftey equipment. I am looking for best all around performance as rarely does the boat go over 20-25 mph due to water conditions. While it is mostly a, "harbor toy", we do take cruises up to 15 miles to surrounding ports so mileage should be decent, however anything will be an improvement over my 1995 Evinrude 70 H.P 2 stroke that the Yamaha is replacing.

Thanks
Jim G.
