Fuel burn is the price to pay for speed... so what! just manage accordingly, but nobody is going broke from running 5 minutes WOT. Enjoy!!!!!

Top speed I have seen with 4 adults and 5 kids was 57mph....fuel, well not so good....if just cruising and wakeboarding I can get two days out of a tank (see threads about tank not filling all the way up)....if wide open you can literally watch the fuel gauge decrease.
That said, you can truly get her to dance on the water, she does things no other prop boat can do, like a large jetski.

This is so true and what I love about this boat. It has so much power and pulls so hard, it's scary and exhilarating. I have yet to spin this out; too chickensh!t.

Well if they would give me like 30k ft or my boat i could maybe make the payment for a 10 year loan. Kids are expensive!
Hopefully they just continue making nicer and nicer boats!
