rslocum Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I know someone needs an additional summer hobby other than motorcycling:) http://cleveland.craigslist.org/boa/4594038800.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnone Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Beautiful. How fast and how many (few) gpm (gallon per mile) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rslocum Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Does around 64 with a couple people and a little fuel with the 4 blade. A little faster with the 3 blade. All depends on load. It has a 100 gallon gas tank so weight can very quite a bit. The boat cruises nicely at 40mph @ 3500rpm and that where it spends most of its time besides idle through no wake zones. Driving mostly like this I have measured fuel consumption right around 2 mpg. Which is not bad for a big block I believe. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Boats are gallons per hour minute. fixed that for you. I like boating, but having a friend with a boat is infinitely better than owning one yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rslocum Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Never worried about fuel consumption. If I ever would I'm definitely in the wrong hobby. Just easier on me to have a sense on roughly how much fuel I'm using with the GPS trip odometer vs. the amount of fuel I put in at the pump.

redkow97 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not suggesting that you or anyone else should worry about it, I just like to think of things in terms of fun-to-dollar ratio. Plenty of people (some on this site) think that track days are foolishly expensive. I justify the fun:dollar ratio, and they disagree. That's where I struggle with boating. I enjoy renting a boat every so often, but boat ownership is not for me. all that said, the one posted looks like a peach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rslocum Posted July 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I did like your theory on terms of payment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd bang this boat all day/night for sure. It's too much for our little cottage lake in MI or I'd actually be interested, instead I'll just fap to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
