Went to the fuel dock today with a brand new 36-foot Sea Ray Sedan

(new model for 2007). 60 gallons of gas for our test runs cost the
dealer $211.
And it's still February.


So where did you go with 80 minutes of fuel ?


Idled from Lake Union to Lake Washington, ran at a variety of speeds
in two different directions for 15-20 minutes, idled back. Will have
to research the fuel burn on a pair of 8.1L Mercruisers. Boat rode
great in a slight chop, (15 knot winds yesterday), and will be a good
choice for somebody who values performance more than miserly fuel
consumption.
