MPG on Merc 150hp Black Maxx
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.

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