I think the difference comes from me learninng the boat and where to set my trim under each condition.

Fuel mileage is awesome. I ran from Port Neches to the Jetties on Sabine at cruise speeds. But had to run WOT on the way back to avoid a storm and only burned 11 gallons. That is the equivalent of running Prien to the jetties and back.

I thought so, I couldnt believe I only burned that. I should probably mention though that not the WHOLE way back was WOT but a good bit of it.
