Reply With QuoteJust be warned those V8s have been known to have GPH rates right around the 60 range at WOT....
Actually, I believe the book says 30-GPH at WOT. Rule of thumb (which matches) is HP/10 = GPH @ rated power. 300hp/10 = 30 GPH.
I know
Only boat I ever ran out of gas in had one on the back...
They make jet boats with t rams look good on gas.

Wazoo, how high are you running your gearcase? Propshaft centerline to the bottom of the boat directly in front of it? Are you running a low water pickup?
