    I agree with Dakota and Padge. It isn't even about the money. Stazi, you are completely missing a huge part of this equation. Time on the water making memories!!!!! If you are burning double the fuel and have to refill more often, then that's less time to be out enjoying it. Not every lake has a marina, or they might only have 1 and it is way on the other side. Stazi, contrary to your own popular belief, you don't know everything, mate.

    I’m not really going after him specifically, either, but I have taken lots of crap for similar “concerns”.

    Oddly enough, the more money I have been able to make in my life, the more I have come to value the few bucks here and there. I’m not exactly sure why? But anyway, there is also a practical reason as Knox pointed out.

    your damn right I care. Gas on the lake can be anywhere from 3.60 - 4.50. with a 70 gal tank you do the math.

    I didn't take offense to it and I see your point to some degree. It always makes me laugh when guys care about top end, I only surf so I don't care about that. So the reason I asked is because everyone in my crew surfs regular. I have no desire to set up on the Starboard side or ever switch, etc. Also if I could run at lower RPM's it would be easier on engine and tranny, etc. I know it's old school, but that's why I bring it up, just wondering if anyone surfs slammed anymore. I went from Moomba to Centurion and now am eyeing this new 2019, so that's why I was asking

    I fill my boat up every time I go out. Holds 85 gallons. So if the next time I had to fill it up it held 25 gallons instead of 40, that would be a bonus lol.

    Yes of course we all surf slammed, but not listed. The surf system waves, for the most part, are superior.

    I'm sorry, I meant listed. And everything I have read about listed vs. surf system the listed wave wins, at least in some boats.

    Listed waves have a lot of power, but the surf systems create a better wave and keeps you in the pocket more like an ocean wave instead of always surfing down a hill per say

    I'm with you on the RPMs. Every little bit helps. There is a thread on the Supra SL about RPMs, motors, props, weights. Good read to follow along.

    That's an interesting take and I buy that. Guess I'll have to demo and compare. My wave's pretty legit so it would have to be pretty impressive to impress me
