I've got a 2005 Malibu 23 LSV with about 290 hours on it. Always well maintained and serviced annually. My crew is always asking for more ballast, so this season we've been running from 1300 to 2100 pounds of water ballast plus whatever number of people in the boat, usually 4 to 8. We've also been wakesurfing more in the midday chop, which I assume is a bit more stress on the power plant because of the low speed. How much oil do you think I should be burning with that kind of use?
