Thanks for the update Roger. I'm glad you had a satisfying resolution. I know exactly how you feel. On our original Suzuki 70hp, besides being marginally underpowered, we were overpropped all that first summer and instead of going out and getting a new prop with a 13" pitch, we waited all summer for the factory to get us the proper sized prop. Once it arrived, oh what a difference! As you said, we felt like we finally had our NEW boat running like it should have been from the beginning. Thumbs Up

We have the cc-23 lightly loaded with a f-115, water tank filled usually fill tanks and then run until down to 15 gallons or so and then refill

In Naples fl. with a lots of no wake zones and 30mph top speed we get 4-4.5 mpg sometimes even as high as 5mpg that is reading the gps miles traveled and then filling up dividing gallons into miles travelled . also our navman 2100 tells us the same figures

But when we went up to Lake Tellico (knoxville area Tenn river) this summer I could hardly get more then 3.8 ( fresh water 900ft above SL) We use 89-90 Octane fuel also use Startron in the fuel change plugs out as needed So far I'm very happy with fuel burn
