    Looking at a 485 package with this motor on, can anyone with this engine comment on the fuel economy?

    It would be quick!!!!! if nothing else, sorry don't know much about that actual engine but for that size boat it will fly that's for sure.

    Thats good, thats the intention, its main use will be skiing, just concerned it may be a tad thirsty.

    I don't think fuel economy and skiing should be used in the same sentence.

    Ron 173 - I have this motor on a Yaltacraft 535 fibreglass cuddy. The motor has only ten hours on it but I think I'm getting around 1k per litre at about 4000/4500 rpm.
