I guess that’s two of us. From the sounds of it most everyone is using social media instead of the forums.

Cruising while watching the smart craft gauge I wanna say 6-8gph. I don’t pay much attention to fuel usage. Just put it in when it needs it. If I hit the river today I will record rpm and gph. If not I will be out tomorrow for a bit and will get it then.

My 200 sport jet isn’t terrible on fuel as long as you don’t run it wide open all over. I’d think a 16’ boat with a 175 would rip. It should do well on fuel considering you wouldn’t have to run it hard to do what you need to with it.

I feel like it wouldn’t be tough to machine an adapter for the crank then a spacer to makeup for the extra distance between power head and pump. Just not sure on cooling difference between the 4 stroke and 2. I really love the sport jet other than the noise. And another 100hp would be welcome.

Idk if the pump would hold up to what our boats go through? I had high hopes merc would have a 4 stroke sport jet out by now. I think a 300hp 4 stroke with a stainless liner and impeller would be a huge hit in aluminum jet boat world. Not sure there is enough market to justify it though. Most guys u...

Update?

I’m not on Facebook, so looks like this is the new place to be. It’s a shame if all the info from MC is lost.
