As some of you know I have an 85 Johnson 150hp on a 17' Charger. I would like to try to improve the fuel milege a bit. I know the GT's and Fast Strikes, get much better than my gas eater. Any help would be great. Thanks
bmurray,<br /><br />A two stroke 150 hp. engine is never going to be economical. I don't think you can use economy and 150 hp. in the same sentence.<br /><br />The "loopers" will be more efficient by design.<br /><br />The only way to make sure you are getting the max. is to keep your rpm's down. The rate of fuel useage between 3/4 and WOT is a very wide.
OK, I'm going to run a bit slower for sure, and get the prop fixed or get a new one. But what makes the GT's and Fast Strikes as much as 3x better on gas? This is from my local dealer. Thanks
