[QUOTE="archery68, post: 468254, member: 20113"] Sorry I do not know mileage. I used to run a two stroke years ago, it was a 40 but 28 at the jet. Speed wise probably not quite as fast as my 4 stroke 60/40. I would have 2 six gallon tanks with me in my old set up. It was a 2004 johnson. Would run where I do now and a lot of times would go through one tank and use part of the other. I can run the same now with the 4 stroke and use about 4 gallons or so. Much more quiet and powerful enough. My kids are getting bigger and with that friends come along. I want bigger motor to haul the weight. Not necessarily speed. I want the speed at the lake when fishing. My next setup will be a 1856 Blazer SS 100 gauge semi V with square front. Not sure yet on tiller or steering but it will be the 115/80. It should push that setup in the 40’s. Depending on weight of course. Would love to have a 150/105 but got to draw the line somewhere money wise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
