That statement is useless without a time factor better than 'per day', Eight hour day would be maybe 2 gallons per hour. I don't think that is what you meant. Casady Really, and 14-20 gallons wouldn't be that much for any boater with an engine around that size who ran at a high cruise or was pulling tubes or skiers. You don't pull skiers, wakeboarders or tubes at high cruise. |
