Hi guys, great channel, direct to the point and informative. I also just picked a MF 895, with the same engines, but not hitting the same numbers. The boat came with aluminum props and are a little banged up. What props are you running to achieve these numbers? Thanks

[phillipbeattie]

Well presented and informative as usual!
My 895 with twin Mercury 200s has almost identical figures - which is strangely reassuring :)
With the qualification that one of my motors uses 5-10% more fuel at the same revs. (I’ll be getting that looked at.)
Does the Yamaha not show consumption for each motor?
And I note that your max revs showed one motor 200rpm less than the other?
My max speed is 37kts

If you are in an extended no wake zone, will it hurt the boat by shutting down 1 engine?

Nice video, great info but for me that paddle board is dangerous blocking vision out through starboard side

[robbishop]

Awesome video..there's very few videos on YouTube like this.. thanks for the information.. I wonder what's it like with one engine running?
Safe travels 😊

A better metric is using your nm/l or nm/gal. I get 1.4 nm/gal at slow speeds and just above planning speed as a general rule in our 895 Sport twin 250 Yamahas.

Didn't get to hear what engines you which I would have thought was fairly important in the equation?

[Eljac]

How good/bad it is in rough waters? That is question number one...

I’ve put about 5000 miles on my 895 nc sport and rarely see 1.4mpg. These hulls will average 1-1.2 if bottom painted or loaded. Top speed was 49.7 mph. Best cruise is 42mph. These boats love 32+mph, anything below that and they pound. I really want sharrow props.

My MF895 with twin Yamaha 200's are the same. 60lt per hour at 4200rpm at 22 knots. Never went WOT as the engines are only on 42 hours. Must try it next calm day (as I'm in the UK, that may be never!).
