Location: minocqua, wi. | never, ever underpower a boat and for fuel consumption in the HP range you are talking it's from soup to nuts and then as stated above makes a difference how you drive. i have a 175 Mercury 2-stroke Pro-XS and it uses a third the fuel that my old XRI did, but i would imagine the F175 (i think they make one now) and a 175 Suzuki 4-stroke would burn even less than this motor. new motors are pretty good these days but they are still outboard motors so you're not driving a prius around ... unless you have a new Evinrude ... that stupid thing looks like a Prius ... or worse. |
