Fuel Efficiency & Drivetrain Advantage
This boat is incredibly efficient on gas, especially for its size:
• Less than 1 gallon per mile when cruising in planing mode (~22 mph)
• Around 2 miles per gallon (or half a gallon per mile) when cruising at 9 knots

It’s equipped with Bravo 3 outdrives and dual prop shafts, which reduce turbulence in the water, provide better grip and control, and make it easier to get on plane faster — all while maximizing fuel efficiency.
