Ok I really didn't think my bb used that much gas till I drove my 222 around the guage never moved. But I think it's still very good on gas if your just cruising at 35. You have to remember most gas is used getting on plane. With a bb you just burp the gas and your on plane. A sb your at full throttle.
I ran from oshkosh to Fremont running full throttle alot and other times very hard and back on 25 gallons. Which I think was very good.
not sure what POT the Jus Yt was taking about on #4 loce it :-)
And they pick on me!

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I especially appreciate the advice about maneuvering around dicks, as a straight guy that is great advice, lol!

Big Block and I have been boat shopping across the US and it turns out we have a lot in common.
