I just purchased a 28 te new. Anyone have fuel consumption with the 315
yanmar?
I had a patient tell me that his Albin 28 cruised at 18 knots with a burn
rate of 13 gph. I found those numbers hard to believe, but amazing if
true.
Let us know.
A new 28 True World Marine (planning hull) with a 315 Yanmar on a jack
shaft
does 30 mph cruise while burning approx. 6-7 gph.
And 40 mph top end burning 10 - 11 gph
Are you getting those numbers from Capt. Joe Verdino?
That's advertised and based on what I've seen in other publications,
it's fairly consistent.
I'll tell you, I would buy one of the Master Marine CC in a heartbeat
if I had the need for it. You cannot imagine the ride these things
have in a heavy sea - it's amazing. Even for a relatively narrow
beamed boat, it was pretty stable. I think it's the length and the
extremely long forefoot with the sharp dead rise that allows it to
ride so nicely.
Later,
Tom
