How much Fuel are you burning?
So... I have my Max Pretty well sorted. I am very happy with my wave. We run 1250's in the Rear, and 910's in the Midlockers. That with a couple of my larger friends on surf side produces a fantastic wave around 10 mph for me, 10.2-3 for our daughter and we run 10.4mph on the right side wave. We typically go out for about 2hrs a session. What is catching me off guard is my Fuel Consumption. Everyday I am putting in around 25-30 gallons of Gas in the boat to replace what I used before. The cost is starting to be...Noticeable to say the least, as well as the Material Handling of the gas. For sure we are plowing a bunch of water, but I am wondering if there better way to achieve a big wave, and gain back some efficiency? My Rpms with a 2419 prop range between 3800 - 4200rpm. I would love to get that in the 34-3500 range, but when ever we dump ballast, we dump "wave."
Anything I should be considering?
