MPG on Merc 150hp Black Maxx

[MrRob]

Hi! I'm new to powerboating and I just wanted to ask a quick question! Whats the typical mpg for a Merc Black Maxx 150hp?
Its running on a Marshan 21 with the Cav Plate 5" above the bottom of the boat with a 23p Solas Scorpian Prop.
Rough Guides and Guestimates will do!
I just want to know how far I can go on a full tank. Dont know how big the tank is but its well over 120ltr.

Cheers,

Rob.

i'd reckon around 15 gallons per hour.

The ones I've had ran at 15 gall/Hr (UK galls) 69 lts an Hr at WOT

and what bout the mpg on a 225 opti??

[MrRob]

It cant be that much! ****s Sme! Can I get a meter that you can install to tell you how much juice your using?

Don't forget these are WFO figures, cruising around you'll use way less.

[MrRob]

What does WOT and WFO mean?

[Burty]

WOT = Wide Open Throttle

Cheers! We should really have a Jargen Buster on the site for newbies! I need a new photo of my boat as its the only picture of one on the site thats siting in its trailer in the middles of the road...

WFO=Wide Fkkn Open, same as WOT
