they run famously..
no mods yet.. other the removal of all emissions related stuff
future mods include a air to water intercooler and some fuel/boost mods
other then the water injection exhaust, its basically two straight pipes out the back of the boat.. and with two 617's and all 10 cylinders going
the sound is pretty awesome..
as far as GPH.. I dont have any real data but at hull speed
( maximum speed before transom water separation )
the 617's are at about 1500RPM and I am going about 9-11 kts
maybe 1PSI of boost and using almost no fuel..
I ran around all day at that speed and used like 5 gallons of fuel
