Daze, I missed the fuel economy thing! LOL
All I can say is you had better be prepared for at least $200.00 per weekend. The it the least we have gotten out so far.
These are rough numbers in my head, but since we have only had the boat a couple of months I think these will be close.
Currently 27 total hours on boat. Just got the Amex bill Friday, have charged all the gas, local station with 93 octane at $1.54.9 per gallon. Also put in $200.00 Friday and paid cash. I think the total fuel bill so far is right at $ 1003.00. That divided by the price works out to around 647 gallons, divided by the hours = 24 gallons per hour. I did however buy gas on the lake twice so the total per hour would be slightly higher. I'm glad I did this, it really is a lot, but not as bad as I tell people?
Blue Thunder, The flange screwed to the boat has the lable made into it. The caps that screw into them to seal it off do not say anything. The Waste fitting is on the port side forward of the fuel fill. The fresh water is on the starboard side. At least this is how they are labeled. They are actually backwards. I plan to have Baja change them. I know which one is which now, but it is crazy.
The dealer had no clue. He went by what they said on them when he did the walk through. This is really a dumb mistake from the factory.

That is a major factory brain fart. I'd hate to be the poor bastard that has to change them. Hopefully hole will allow the clamps to come through and the hoses are long enough. Sounds like a sweet ride. Hope all continues well!!

Re: Pump Out Head Question
Can't you just change the labels and leave everything as it is

You are not going to believe this ****! Baja put the fitting that says fresh water on the toilet pump out and the toilet pump out is labled fresh water. The wife and I have been outside in the dark for the last two hours and have just figured it out.
I cannot believe this? WASTE = **** right????????????
Fresh water = Clean water for sink and shower right????????
They have everything labled backwards.
I filled up the waste inlet, held at least 20 gallons and we got good clean water. I put the hose in the fitting labled fresh water and we got **** coming out the vent.
This really sucks!
Thanks Mark
