Why is the MPG for the Z1 so low?

[buffman]

Have it on good authority that something was out of place with the consumption specs. Was told an actual Z1 actually only uses 4 - 5% more in the 2.5 to 3.0K rpm range.

Getting the Z1. U only live once! ZZZZooomm!!!!

Ooops - still have the ice on the lake problem right now!

I cant imagine you will regret it....nice, so where you live what did you order on her - specs man?

Does anyone know if the RZ2 test is wrong as well?

The 22Ve:
RPM MPH Knots Total GPH
3500 32.1 27.9 8.7

The RZ2:
RPM MPH Knots Total GPH
3000 25.3 22.0 11.9

Any answers?

Nope, Perhaps we should start a new thread about the bad gas mileage on the RZ2.

No, I don't know who he works for or what, if any, association he has with Tige. He'll have to answer that.

I knew the boat was being retested yesterday morning, weather permit. I hope to have some detailed info later.

I don't work for Tige. I just sell them. What a great job!

Tige is working on Boattest.com to correct the test data. don't know if they will take Tige's findings, or have to come out and redo their own tests.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I can tell you this about the RZ2. We here at F I C just ran a wakeboard tournament here in our local market. the boat ran 7 hrs. pulled 44 riders and burned 23 gallons of gas. boat specs- 07RZ2 340hp sacked out and loaded with people. 3.29/gph pulling wakeboarders i was impressed.

I realized that the boattest result was in a bigger engine, 360HP.

I was just wondering why was so much more than the result of the 22Ve.
