Fuel economy of older jet boats
"Larry" wrote in message ... "Calif Bill" wrote in m: Mine is a Kodiak 3 stage that is a licensed copy of an older hamilton. I have sucked weeds several times and sticks a couple times. Does not take much of a stick stuck in the impeller to cause cavitation. Makes me think a lot of prop boats with small dings in the prop are effecting performance huge amounts. Jetboat Economy.....ha ha ha....you guys are too funny! Isn't that an oxymoron?? I did not buy an aluminum jetboat for the economy. I bought it to run shallow and tree filled rivers. Better economy than a jetski. My 351W engine got me about 2 mpg, 3400# 21' boat. The newer 5.7L mpi gets better, but have not really checked on the mpg yet. |
