Scepter with 383 stroker ?

[bgreene]

What to expect with a new engine /IO of this type in terms of fuel burn, cruise speed and WOT ?

Thanks

The owner is a local charter captain and so is his brother Entourage. He's moving up to a much larger boat. I just talked to him last week about a different boat.

Nice build up, but no real information he is looking for (And I was curious too). The 21' is a whole different story...

I have posted this numerous times...3 different boats...21' 24' 30'
All with SBC, different hulls different fuel delivery and different top speed and cruise. One thing remains constant they all burn 8-9 gallons per hour @ there cruising rpm. Approximately 2800-3200 rpm ...take it to the bank. Over 1000 documented hours.
