I got a 16' bass boat this summer and I am astounded at how much gas it uses. I use 4-5 gallons everytime I go out fishing for a couple of hours and my motor is a 1990 Mercury 115 (2 stroke).
I got a 16' bass boat this summer and I am astounded at how much gas it uses. I use 4-5 gallons everytime I go out fishing for a couple of hours and my motor is a 1990 Mercury 115 (2 stroke).
I am considering getting a new boat and am wondering about fuel economy. My guess would be that smaller engines will burn less fuel and that newer engines (2000 or newer) will be more fuel efficient than older engines. However, I want to put my assumptions to you experts.
1) Will lower horsepower outboards get better "mileage" than bigger ones?
2) Will newer engines get better mileage than older ones?
3) Do 2 stroke engines getter better mileage than 4 stroke engines?
Any other insights that you have would be appreciated?
