Finally did some towing.
I got a call from a guy needing some boats moved, I was like sure. I havent had a chance to test out my tow tune. This is a 1996 34ft Magic, I am not sure of the weight but there is no motor in it, but its big. I only ran 55-60 with it on the way up from Tucson. From fill in Tucson at the TTT to the Shell by my house was 148.9 at 8.3 gallons thats 17.93
 mpgs hand calculated with stopping the pump when it first shuts off. EGTs ranged from 600 to 900 tranny temp never got to 150. I am heading out early in the morning to Boulder City to drop it off and will see how she does in the hills. I had several people tell me there was no way I got that kind of mpgs. I said I had a few things going for me. Keeping a good constant speed not having to slow down and speed up. Not driving like my house was not going to be here when I got here. And gears. The boat has good areodynamics. Plus not alot of climbs. Its 250 miles where I got to go and there is some pretty good hills and this is gonna be a better test.
