Top speed is 45 MPH. Cruise is about 30. Never paid much attention to MPG but I would guess it averages about 1.5-2 MPG per trip. Usually burn about 60-70 gallons a trip running 40-50 miles off shore and back plus trolling and circling over structure for snapper. Usually run out at 28-32 MPH...
I ordered the boat New through Red Wing Boat Company in Houston without motors from Parker. Red Wing rigged the Etecs and electronics. So yes these are the original motors on this boat.
I have a 2009 model Parker 2501 with twin 150HP 2010 year model Evinrude Etecs. The engines have about 320 hours and the boat is in great shape. It is located in Houston, TX.
