I bought a 1994 692 ranger with a 175 efi Mariner and a 8 hp 4 stroke yamaha kicker this summer The 175 hp Mariner has only 130 hours on it. This Ranger model has trim tabs on it which are new to me and I'm not quite comfortable with yet.
My concern other than the trim tabs is fuel comsumption. I fish Lake Of the woods once a year and put on 30 miles a day or less.
The boat is in great shape other than the fuel consumption, am I better off selling the boat and buying a newer model without the trim tabs and a more efficent motor or stick with what i have and pay the extra fuel costs once a year. Thanks
