I usually run the boat at 3800 to 4000 rpm, which gives me a cruise speed of 40mph. The fastest I ever ran the boat was 59mph. The fuel cap is 60 gallons. The boat does not have an engine hour meter. So I would be guessing on hours. The motors are 1993's, so they deffinitly have some hours. I run ring free with every tank of gas, two years ago I replaced both water pumps. I live in Maryland so every winter the boat is winterized, In the spring the lower end unit oil is drained and filled with fresh oil. Please let me know if there are anymore questions. Thanks for the interst

The outriggers are tacos. The t-top is a factory birdsall. The outrigger elbows are birdsalls, they fit into the legs of the t-top. They work great, very clean looking. Really easy to remove and install.

Compression #'s port-118 to 120 starboard- 105 to 110. My mechanic said they were within standards. As far as gph and fuel tank size, I think I am wrong about tank size. I have never put more than 60 gallons in it. I have also never let it drop below 1/4 tank. I would guess maybe 80 gallons. It just was not a concern to me. The boat was never used offshore, all locally around Annapolis Md.

I think the current 23 open has a 150 gallon tank, I would think it is closer to that than 60.
