I picked up my boat this weekend after having yearly maintenance, bottom paint, and propspeed. I was extremely surprised by the increase in efficiency. Cruising at 3030 RPM, we were getting 26.8 gallons/hr at 28.7 mph. Previously we were averaged about 31 gallons/hr and 25mph at 3030RPM. Has anyone seen this much improvement ?
