performance/consuption info with triple engines.

Thanks, Butch,

Karen,

Notice both the triple engine E-TEC 250 hp rigs can cruise close to 35mph
while consuming less than 9 gph per motor. Each one burns less than your
stated 30 gph at 35 mph when you were talking about with lighter twin engine
boats and didn't believe Gene's first hand account of fuel consumption! Once
again you are "blown out of the water" with published facts and not
someone's anonymous internet posts.

I drove that same HydraSport late last year and the power is amazing for
that much weight. The boat has a good hull for rough water and the motors
will push you back into the leaning post when you accelerate from a dead
stop or from a cruise speed.


These are large heavy boats, add up all the weights including full gas tanks
that cost over $1000 to fill up.
