Looks like a good setup mako.Not to change the subject but I am wondering what the fuel economy/range is like on your boat as I am thinking of upgrading my motor to a 115hp yamaha four stroke.Hopefully increase the range when heading out and extra reliability.Currently has a two stroke 115hp yamaha.

Mackies

Dont bother with mackies on the west side, they've shut down with the Coral Spawn atm.  Stick to the billy trolling.  Lots of whale sharks about, the tour boats must have seen 6-7 yesterday.
