The "claim" was a Contender 31
"cruising" at 35 mph on between 8 & 11 gph!!!! NO mention of per engine if
that was the claim then right there is the admission it was a deliberate
deceptive lie by a NG BS'ter!!!


A knowledgeable boat person would know that the claim was per engine,
without it having to be explained.




A 35 ft boat at under 8200lbs??? is heavy???? Don't buy one with your own
money:-)



Where did you get 8200 lbs.????

I guess you did not add up the weight of the 33' HydraSport of 8680# (not
8200) plus three 520+ # motors, all the rigging, 6 type 31 batteries, 2100#
of fuel, 520# of people and gear, etc. A rough calculation would be around
13,300 pounds. Over 6.5 tons of vessel, gear, and people, that's a fairly
heavy load to push thru the water with a deep V hull and still get 1.3 miles
per gallon.
