Fuel Meter?

I read an article in Boating Life about using a fuel meter to monitor for the best gph/rpm's.

Anyone using, or used, one of these?

Having had one and used one, would you buy and install another on your next boat?

With the price of fuel, I'm starting to wonder about the fun value of WOT vs max fuel efficiency.

I once had a boat with a "FloScan". It was good information initially, but in the long run it didn't tell me anything I couldn't have figured out in other ways. Jim

I really want to add a Flo Scan to my boat (19' runabout) but it would only be for fun, and I can't afford the hundreds of dollars they cost. I don't need one, but it would be interesting to play with. William

depening on the boat and intended usage, yes i would add another one. if you tend to run offshore or long distances, it is really nice to know an accurate reading/estimate of your range. and yes, it does help at times to bump the throttle down a bit when you see that GPH number flashing at ya. ;)

i still toss in a WOT run or two. not really for fun, altho it is, but to see if anything has changed. do i still see the same top end? rpm? attitude?
