Default Boat Performance Update

The old Whaler I recently purchased has a 25 hp Johnson on it. I *think*
(but am not sure) it's a 1993 engine. It looks very, very similar to the
little Johnson you had on the boat you just sold (Princecraft?).

Anyway, I had forgotten how fuel hungry the old 2 strokes are. 90 percent
of the time I am just putt-putting around the harbor with an occasional and
brief WOT run just to clear the carbs. I have a six gallon fuel tank and
I've already used more fuel in this boat than I have all summer on the GB.
Any idea what the fuel burn rate is with this engine? It *has* to be quite
high, even at trolling speeds.


About 3 gph at WOT, half that otherwise.
