I currently have a Bennington tritoon with the lifting strakes on
inside and outside of all three toons. That's what the comparison
boat in the video is. Bennington actually now has an elliptical
center toon setup in a similiar fashion to the PTX. We just both
really liked the layout and quality of the Premier better.

Have you looked at the spec sheets for the 250 Yamaha versus the 250
ETEC?
Hard to figure why the MPG differences, but maybe I'm misreading or
misunderstanding something.
Looks like tested weight was about 1000 lbs heavier for the Sunstation
with the Yammie.
Are you considering these sheets when you choose your engine?
Or are they to be taken with a big grain of salt?
It looks like you can squeeze real good MPG out of these boats at
loafing speed, but I'm surprised at the difference on the sheets.
Just curious if you look at this stuff.
I'm not sure what to make of it.
