    That's what we need for a Donzi run soon. I have always wanted to do Bimini. My dad used to go every year when we lived down there.

    Whoa! That's beautiful.

    What kind of fuel consumption are you getting with those Yammie 4 strokes?

    Did you drive it there from the states? How many miles?

    52 miles from Ft. lauderdale.

    We did it in a 38ZX last year and it was easy going over. 1 hour there and 4 hours back......and it was horrible. Keep in mind, we were in a 38 ZX!!

    Yep Yellowtail on the full moon. We went for the mutton run on the last weekend of May. Sucked. It was more like the grunt run . I get great gas mileage with the four strokes.


    35 mph 15 Gallons per hour 2.2 to 2.3 MPG

    40 mph 18 GPH 2.1 MPG

    Top speed 50 MPH 26 GPH 1.7 MPG

    I used 102 gallons going from Miami to South Bimini and back to MIA and runnin around for 3 days. Not long runs to Isaac or La Draga but good enough. Averaged 2.1 MPG. Had 200 carb motors before these.. burned fuel like hell compared to these. But it was almost a 60 MPH boat.
