Default Fuel economy of older jet boats

I'm seeing many older jet boats, say the 2000 sea-doo challenger 1800
or 2002 sea-doo islandia for sale locally. What are the fuel economy
on these older ones? Anyone know where you can find the information
out? Someone told me they get 5 hours on a tank, but I see the have
41gal tanks, so they are burning 8 gal/hour?


Both James and Dick have more boating experience in their little
finger than I.... However, I think the answer you are looking for is,
"yes". Yes, the boat you are looking at could burn 8 GPH. That is
probably one of the reasons you are seeing so many of these for sale,
so cheap.
