Hey Mark,

She gets up to 49 MPH, the engines sip gas unlike the old two strokes they chugged. I get 2 MPG cruising around 25 MPH . The new Merc's are great.

Beautiful! How are you liking the power? Are 200s enough? I have a 2003 2870 WA. Not repowering soon, but it is in the back of my mind, as my 225s are getting long in the tooth. Again, your boat is beautiful...cheers!
