Fuel Efficiency on Johnson Ocean Pro 200

[fdann47@hotmail.com]

I am a member of the US Coast Guard Auxiliary and we have an internal dispute on the fuel efficiency of my Johnson. I need your help in determining it at three different speeds; Economical, Cruise and Max.

My Johnson is a 2000 Ocean Pro 200HP and is on a Sea Fox 215 Bayfisher deep V with a 47 gallon tank and three crew members average 200 lbs.

Someone is questioning my gasoline expense but they do not know what it is and they are comparing it to the efficiency of a 2005 Yamaha 200. I know that I have a great engine and a work horse but it is a gas Hog at high speed.

I believe the Yamaha with its pressure Fuel injection is more efficient than my Ocean Pro and it is not a fair comparison. If you can give me an idea how much gas my Johnson spends at those three speeds I can resolve the issue.
