Good Question.

I dont have an LT1 - just a regular 350 in my 95' 205. I've been using 87 octane the past few years.

East - what do you treat your fuel with during the season?

Don't forget their poor selection in hats too!

Correct Craft is nothing to snicker at, but I'm with MasterCraft all the way. In the future if we do get a another boat, it would be very difficult to pursuade us into a different brand.
