[QUOTE="nowgrn4, post: 478190, member: 17533"] It runs great. Very quiet and easily double (10-11MPG @ 4K RPM @ 22-23 MPH) the MPG of the dual carburetor '03 50HP Johnson 2-stroke I had. Hole shot and top speed is around the same as the 50HP. The Zukes much smaller lower unit and smaller prop allows me to air out the hull higher without porpoising which helps MPG. Only negative is the longer warm up time 4 strokes need to get oil temp up, around 10 minutes on a cold start and 3-4 minutes on restarts. Very happy so far but I only have around 40 hours on engine as of now. [/QUOTE]
