[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 405564, member: 7376"] I feel your pain. My old truck wouldn't get that either. 10 at best. Just odd to me as well that the boat gets better fuel economy than the truck did. Check out Yamaha's performance bulletins on their website. I haven't been into it in a while but a couple guides that run the rivers have told me about their fuel usage, and I've compared it to the performance bulletins. For the most part, they were pretty close. Jet outboard MPG will not go anywhere near the prop-driven motors though, for obvious reasons. IMO, the correct prop makes a huge difference, and I'm going to guess that 1/2 of all boats are not propped correctly. I see it all the time in the shop. The thought of putting a higher pitch wheel should theoretically make it go faster right? Theoretically yes....theory and real world are 2 different things. [/QUOTE]
