Well, I finally got my 2000 2110 (purchased back in the spring) in the water and running beautifully. For those of you that saw my thread in the project section, I am sorry I didn't keep the thread updated better but I was having trouble uploading alot of my pics to the site so I gave up on it. If any other 2110 owners have any questions, I now know EVERY INCH of this boat, inside and out intimately so I will be glad to help any way I can. Just let me know. I have a question that I am hoping some of you can help me with. As most of you know, the 2110 and the 2120 are the same exact hull so I was hoping some of you 2120 owners out there with 2 stroke power can tell what sort of fuel range ya'll are getting. I have a 2000 Yamaha 175 carb. on my boat with a 13 3/4 x 17 stainless prop. I have topped off my tank twice since starting to use the boat and I averaged 2.1 statute mpg one time and 2.26 statute mpg the next. The problem I have is that the use of the boat was mixed running on calm water,running in slop,putting around, and pulling a tube for a little as well. During that time I did have one continuous 50 mile run on fairly calm water on that first tank full. It's hard for me to get an accurate reading of just how much I'm burning under what conditions. I would especially like to know how many gph you burn at trolling speed because a couple buddies I are planning my first offshore trip in the boat and we want to be safe until we get a better idea of actual burn. I do feel confident in getting 1.75 statute mpg cruising in decent conditions, but I don't want to underestimate my fuel usage at trolling speed and get into trouble. Any real world data will be greatly appreciated. Also, before anyone says it, I do have plans of buying the kit for my new Garmin 741xs to show my real time burn, but that's gonna have to wait a while, the project is over budget at the moment. That is something I'm sure you ALL can understand.
