Picked up the new 17CC
Hey Guys,
The wife and I picked up our new 17cc tow weeks ago. Finally was able to get it into the water last Saturday. Windy & choppy but we still launched anyway. I have a Yamaha 60 4 stroke on her and I could tell as soon as I turned the key I will love it.
We went from a 21ft Wellcraft w/260 Mercruiser (12-15GPH) to the 17CC. Can anyone give me an idea how much fuel I will burn. The dealer said cruise around 3GPH is this accurate?
When we started off I trimed the motor all the way down after getting up on a plane I only had to adjust the motor maybe an inch up (if that much). Is this normal? She seamed to be planing good with the bow wave a little forward of the counsel. I was rough and we were getting pounded pretty good. Next time I hope to have some smooth water.
Any advise you all could lend would be appreciated.
BJB
