Gas HOGS. Be sure to test drive one for at least a few hours to see for
yourself. Don't take any salesmans word. You're looking at at least 10
gallons an hour.

But assuming that he's doing at least 30 mph for that 10 gph fuel rate,
that's still 3 mpg... For a boat, anytime your fuel consumption is measured
in "miles per gallon" instead of "gallons per mile", you're doing good...

Since these boats are generally used for "point A to point A" travel (with no
particular destinations in between) and the trip is designed to take "X" number
of hours, fuel consumption is a factor.
