At each speed increment. FREEZE the throttle movement for at least 30 seconds. That will let the lean burn program kick in for that position. Saving 20-24%. You ever let that happen at any of the speed measurements. Trimming a fixed throttle setting? Then freeze that once proper trim. So motor recalibrates.

100% transparency = HUGE Thumbs Up!!

Excellent information. Glad to see you mentioned the various factors in the beginning to weed out a lot of questions. This might make a good series on the different conditions on the water as to how well the boat performs. Keep it up

Good video. I live in PNW and got a new boat in December. It's a 22 foot welded aluminum with hard top and extended transom. I put a 200 HP Honda, V6 on it. The motor dealer was great in helping me get it propped. Initially had a 15" on it and it would redline over 6K RPM. We put a 17" on and it tops out now at 5,800 RPM with 100 gallons of fuel and three 200 pound dudes with fishing and safety gear aboard. Top speed is 40 knots or 46 mph. Like you I will rarely run it up there for excessive fuel use and our usual sloppy water. Although I've heard it's good for them to do it for a couple minutes every now and then.

Love the numbers on your new boat.

That v8 is so much better than the verados! Your numbers are really close to what my suzuki 300 does. I spin more rps though.

Great vid Capt!

To convert m/gal to km/litre divide by 2.35. So 3.2m/gal = 1.4km/litre. (From Australia).

Love the boat nice clean look with single engine looks like you gonna get plenty of sun without a t top you can always add one you don't have to worry about rod obstruction lol.

Incredible! Merc's have come a long way. Rething my Yamaha loyalty. Have twin 2019 150HP Yam's w/ three blade props on 244 Center Console Key West. In comparison: 31 MPH at 3900 RPM's burning just under 2GPH with a WOT 5100 RPM 41mph. Understand, not fair. Saw performance of twin 2020 200 HP Merc's on a 27 Contender getting what your 300 HP got. Keep us posted on long term performance and reliability. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting this. Looking to repower my 22' Dolphin and the Mercury V8 300 is on my radar screen. If only I could find one for sale! Any thoughts on how this motor stacks up against the Suzuki 300?

Great video !

Really nice !!

Oh yea forgot to say “get it girl” LMAO. That was funny

love to hear about trim techniques bow and engine.

Sweet. Can you do a review on the new Yamaha 250 and 300 HP and its DES

Great knowledge vid Mike. Wide open at 2 miles per gallon is awesome. Even better at 4100rpms, with plenty of speed. What mic were using when u were on plane? Wireless body mic or a camera mounted mic?

I’m using a GoPro in this video and I edit the audio in Finalcut to try to remove all the wind noise. Eventually I’ll hide a mic out of the wind for videos like this.

Buenísimo eso es ser económico lol bueno good job capitán 👨‍✈️

I want to do this why my boat comes. This is nice. 50 at over 2mpg is awesome!

You have the kill switch attached to you if you get thrown overboard but no lifejacket on.

Good job👌👍

amazing boat my friend from malta

How do you get the HUD to display on the video like that with engine RPM etc?? bloody awesome

Op does not let the computer tune the motor at each fixed speed to test mpg. The 300 will settle in maximizing timing, leaning, and other factors once the speed is set and fixed over time. Way increasing mpg. He never lets enough time for this feature to dial in fully.

Is this a 25 SeaVee? Clean looking rig.

Otro gran video Capitan. 33 galones

In which conditions would you say the boat in comfortable 2/3 or less Thanks

Those are great numbers. Over 2.4 mpg... time to ride to the Bahamas!

how do you overlay the engine data on the main camera? The ability to screen-capture the iphone is great but is this something separate? (I meant the speedo, tach, and fuel economy displayed while you're speaking)

What kind of hull is that

Wondering if you can get to 6000 rpm if your trimmed out. Might want less pitch or to move the motor up.

We ordered a 19 P eco but they are hard to get so it may be a while.

I’ve been looking at boats online and looking up the gph, with a boat I really don’t like looking at mpg (sea conditions change and I want to know my costs per hour). With all of that said your numbers look fantastic 12.67 gph, and most boats I’ve looked at are around 20 gph for the same mph.

I use a different logic to look at cost per hour. The more I use the boat, the less my hourly cost is for fun. Storage, maintenance, etc. all need to be paid anyway. If I don't use the boat, those costs are higher per hour:)

My Skeeter 2550 with F300 runs identical numbers and top speed, except I get 1mpg at WOT (5800), so I’m jealous. Maybe it’s my t-top 🤔

Again you’re comparing your flat bottom Jon boat to a boat with deadrise. Jon boats are for lakes and flat water. Take your Jon boat offshore in 3 foot waves while cruising at 30+ mph and let me know how it goes. Rivers and lakes aren’t the same as the ocean.
