Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Yesterday we had a Learn to Ride day for our club and had over 75 people out. It was super fun, Danny Hampson was out with the Liquid Force Bro Boat and all the demo gear was provided by Liquid Force. 2 MXZ 22's, 1 G21, and my A22. We all started around 8am with full tanks, my buddies G21 basically ran out of fuel (showing 0% on digital gauge), the 2 mxz's pulled out around 5pm because they ran out of fuel as well. My gauge showed over half full still at 6pm when I pulled out. My buddy filled my tank for me today and said he had to force all 22 gallons into it. I put exactly 6.0 hours on my boat yesterday so that gives me an average of 3.66 gallons per hour. So sick!! I did this last time with the cinco prop and it was about 3.25 gph, again with the acme 1235 and it was 3.5 gph, now with the 2315 it is 3.66 gph and with the 2315 I can run more weight than before.

Not too bad for a 22' boat with the 335hp CAT motor. Love my boat.

They get you coming and going in the G!!!! Haha

How much ballast? I'm pushing 6 I think with cinco and full ballast and wedge

I would have to guess because the ballast was changing depending on skill level.

The least amount I ran with was 1000 lbs ballast and 7 or more people in the boat.
I probably put 3 of the hours on with 7 or more people and about 3000 lbs. That is my best guess.

Yeah my boat pretty heavily weighted 3000 to 3500 plus 7 people (adults) I was burning 5-5.4 with 2079 prop and 330 monsoon.

I have yet to do the math on my boat....prolly cause I never have the extra coin to fill her up....However, my buddies always comment on how it sips fuel. We usually throw dollar amounts (50-70) in it, ride hard for 3-4 hours and the gauge doesnt seem to budge. When we take their boats (Nautique 210/Supra launch) our riding is always limited by the gas needle.

I do plan to fill the A22 up at the end of the month (vacation) and will report my numbers as well.

I have the Cinco on my new T22 and have been very impressed with the economy. We are usually out for 5-7 hours and that is a little of everything including some tubing which usually really sucks the gas down. the most gas I've had to put in is 20 gallons. Granted I don't have the massive weight you guys are running, but I'm happy!

I finally got around to doing the math on my A22 with 330 fuel consumption.

Filled up my boat on 7/31. At this time boat had 101.6hr. Took to the lake and did mixed driving. We did some boarding with full PNP ballast and wedge down. Then tought some people how to board so a lot of throttle, turn arond, throttle, turn around. Took the boat out on some lake cruzes where RPM were around 3000k most of the ride. Brought the boat home from the lake with some gas left so did one more round of boarding with full PNP and wedge on the river.

Filled up the boat yesterday 8/10 and boat had 110.2hr. I put 43.07gal in the boat.

110.2-101.6 = 8.6hr.
43.07gal/8.6hr=5gal/hr

I would say that is about average. In your case your 3.66 number is awesome and we are all jealous.

A22 w Monsoon 350. 30/70 wakeboarding/surfing. Surf setup - full stock plus 600s and "950" in bow, 6-8 people, wedge down occasionally. Wakeboarding setup - full stock, 6-8 people. Over 5 days 24 engine hours and 120 gallons equals 5 gallons/hr.

How much time was spent idling?
