Howdy all,
So I am casually keeping my eyes open for a boat this fall/winter. I am in no huge rush and although I have been running boats for a long time I have a quick question about engines.
How notable would the difference in gas consumption be with the engines on this boat vs going with newer 4 strokes or the new 2 strokes? I had one friend say these would be "pigs" on fuel.....but is a "pig" considered 25% more fuel consumption or 75% more?
I have pretty much narrowed it down to a Pursuit or Grady will likely be my choice. I do like this boat...and the price is right....my only downfall is the "walkaround" aspect of this boat. I have been on many Pursuits and for me I would like to have this as a boat to fish around Vancouver with but I find the "walkaround" aspect to be almost a bit of waste of space. I would prefer more room down below and not sure how nuts I would be running this on the WCVI.
Anyhow....my main question is for you pro's as to what kind of a difference in fuel consumption vs newer power?
