Hi

I have a 6.2 glass boat, 1150 kg, and get 1 mile / litre, can't quite get 1 naut mile / litre. Only 20 hours on the motor, so maybe it will loosen up a bit more

Fantastic motor, great power to weight ratio, which is really important when all that weight is hanging out the back of boat and so quiet that sometimes you have to look at the tacho to see if the motor is running.

Make sure you get a motor prop though (there are some threads about that aspect of this).

Whichway
