On a different day but with a similar load, we saw 41+ mph at 6000 rpm.
I don't recall either the the *exact* gph or mpg at that speed, but it
was typical for a 150 hp engine...using the one gph per 10 hp "formula."
There's really no need to run at that speed, so I rarely do.

Wide open it guzzles 14.7 gph x $4.5/gallon at the marina = $66/hour
I wouldn't run it wide open, either...(c;
Saw another twin-engined high-speed center console for sale at the
marina Sunday...500 horsepower. Crikey.
