4.3 MPI 220 HP
Here is a test a found from PowerBoating.com
MerCruiser MX6.2 MPI SeaCore with a Bravo III drive and DTS.
With a third of a tank of fuel on board and two adults, I found a comfortable cruising speed to be 28 mph at 3700 RPM while consuming 13.3 (US) gallons per hour (GPH). Minimum planing speed with full tabs was a snail’s pace 7 mph at 2500 RPM consuming a meager 7 GPH. With no tabs, the reasonably deep-V 19-degree deadrise hull required 3400 RPM to stay on plane producing 25 mph while consuming 11.3 GPH. Wide-Open Throttle (WOT) was found to be 39 mph at 4700 RPM consuming 21.7 GPH.
