[QUOTE="Rrider, post: 291881, member: 7456"] Semojetman The motor does pretty well on gas, but to be honest I have not had another jet motor to compare it to. I run a 6 gallon tank and on a 41 mile river trip this past spring we used almost 9 gallons running pretty much wide open. Our river trips are rarely over 6-10 miles and we have never had any concern about fuel. The acceleration and initial jump onto to plane is very nice. My friend has a 1448 with a Johnson 50/30 jet and my Merc takes it out of the hole and they pretty much run dead even at wide open. Over a mile long run I might pull a boat length on him. Even with two 200 lbs guys and 500 lbs of hunting gear and the dog we never have a problem jumping onto plane and we will run a steady 25 - 27 mph on the GPS. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
