Thanks for all the info.

The newer Mags are mulltiport fuel injectected (MPI) - no comparison
really economy-wise to your cabureted 350.

trying to say is on avg. I get 2.5 miles to the gal. I feel if you have to
worry about fuel economy maybe you should not get in to boating. :-)


I'm coming out of a '70's Checkmate jeboat with a 440 - don't preach
to me about fuel economy...

Thanks, -JZ
