At full throttle, each engine should burn about 9-12 gallons of fuel per
hour. Considerably less at half throttle. That boat displaces a LOT of
water.

Those numbers are way low, these are gas engines not diesel. My 6.2L
MPI burns 15 gph at full cruise (3400 RPM).

17 to 20 gph each at full cruising speed, 30+ at WOT.
