Thanks for posting that.

Just a note: The bulletin was done with the new Yamaha F40 which is not yet available. This new engine is fuel injected which helps with the mileage figures although the old style F40 numbers are very close. The big surprise for us is the speed, the boat is really quick and top end is great considering the small engine.

Damn thing gets better mileage than my truck!?

My truck without a trailer gets better MPG... Thank GOD for a v6! The numbers look great, I would typically cruise around 4500-4800 but that is still WAY better than the old "T" I had with 20 more HP! Cheers

The engine we ran was a prototype. Make sure you come to Titusville on the 26th to see this skiff in action, bring a GPS and a ruler! Skip

@ 5000 it still gets over 10 MPG @ 30 mph. Cool

That's the same as my 25 HP 2 smoke Merc. @ 25mph Undecided

Talk about hitting a target market. Cheesy

Fuel injection really adds the weight though. Sad

"Does this FI 40 make my Micro look fat?" Grin

Cool link. Thanks for sharing. Those numbers look pretty nice.

Ron, is that WOT for you on the GS?

I think I get closer to 6 MPG running WOT. But I've never really taken the time to fill the tank up, run it empty and calculate the total number of miles.

Yeah, pretty much. She's just over 10 hours so I can lean her out a little on the oil. Maybe if I quit selling the prop off my boat and put the right one on Roll Eyes

I'll get a little more. Cool

I guess I suck at marketing. Is this where I'm supposed to tell you I do 37 mph at 1/2 throttle? Grin

Jason,

I think if you check yours a little closer, you'll find you get close to 10 if you crack her back a little. Cool

If not, go ahead and use her for another six months or so while you have the new one built and I'll find a safe place for ole 28. Tongue

Jason, for a little xref my 25 hatsu is still in the later stages of break in so I'm still at 25/1, but a combo of short bursts at wfo and mostly 1/2 to 3/4 I was getting a little over 10mpg.

Oh yeah, I realize you're an attorney and all, but you don't have to run the tank empty. Top it off, haul a$$ around a bit, re-top off the tank, then divide your tracked miles by the number of gallons added and presto MPG. Cool

Riverbreeze to JB's and back at WFO should be statistically valid. Cool

Dang I should get me one a dem. My 14ft skiff with '83 35hp Jonny fully loaded with all my camping gear, two batterys, 12 gallons of gas and two people hardly made it from Cocoa Beach to Sebastian plus a little running around and then back on 12 gallons of gas. I work that out to be about 6 mpg cruising 4k at aroung 20 mph, not so great. Tongue

By the way, the chop on the IR was INSANE on the way down. Along with the blinding rain it didn't make for a fun ride. Shocked

So this means your going to use "honey, with all the money I will save on fuel, I can make the payments"? Grin
