I went out this year and got a new lund which has a happy trolling plate on my 40hp 4 stroke merc. and I find that when i go out for say 5hrs or 6hrs of fishing I use about 1.5 or 2.5gals of gas each time. That to me is pretty good, For the last 4 yrs I was using a 5hp two stroke evinrude which was good but I would use more gals of gas in less time than in my new boat. Plus i don't come home smelling of gas and fumes. I'm a big fan of the trolling plate. Just my 2 cents
