[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 390304, member: 6843"] Yes,that makes perfect sense with fuel consumption on a rig using hundreds of gallons of gas. I use a six gallon fuel tank and never go over a mile offshore. I do go like 5-10 miles down the shore line but never out in deeper water. 3-4 foot is my average depth. I will gps it to see what my wot speed is. If I get near or at 30mph that is plenty fast enough in a tiller jon boat. I will see how it runs,if it's dragging bad then I need to raise it up for sure. I have had many jon boats and they all were like this and ran fast. I just never put any thought into it like now. If it's dragging it will be slower than I expect and run like crap. I got this motor for running all over the place and to get on plane with 3-4 people if I ever have that many on board which is rare. [/QUOTE]
