I was thinking about buying a 200. Not so sure after looking at that.

Yeah, I occasionally watch boatzone on youtube, and you see some boats running quintupple 450's. Insane fuel consumption. Inboard diesels would be sooo much more economical, but wouldn't look as cool as a bank of 5 motors hanging off the back, hoovering over a ton of fuel an hour.

I got a 150 merc 4 stroke on an aluminium boat, all up weight with passengers about 1100kg.... better than 2km/L at cruising speed. Can get 300km from the 125L tank if driving economically in good conditions.

I have a 150 Suzuki and get a but under 2 km/l.
But I usually cart way to much crap so could probably improve things.
