Nice!! Glad the tach was an easy fix. I never got around to messing with it, obviously.
Have to admit, I'm envious of your GPH. I really don't know what I get but I can assure you going 25-30 (typically 2800 rpm range) I'm not getting anything close to 5! Something like 24GPH at WOT... Cruising is more enjoyable. Can't be in a hurry at the lake- there to relax!

    Ouch!! 24GPH, I would be sucking fumes in less than a couple of hours....

    Mead is a big lake and our current favorite cove is about 20 miles from the ramps so cruising and a little towing/play is mostly what she does.

    Yes I am very happy with her, you looked after her very well and she's a great boat. The shop said the engine was 'Sweet' after servicing her. Just have some little odds and ends to do as she's a 10yr old boat obviously. Tach and Depth Gauge were easy fixes. Had a new horn put in and an iffy breaker on the nav lights replaced.
