I am buying a 25 foot Skipjack fisherman with a 454 chevy, borg warner velvet drive with a mercruser outdiive. I wanted a 350 chevy/volvo 280 drive but can't find a good clean unit. The current owner says the 454 uses less gas than a 350, because of the bigger lower unit and size of prop. (2400 rpm = 24 mph) Any feed back about this and/or the boat/power, etc. would be helpfull.<br /><br />thanks<br />Skipjack1986
