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.


Lon is cross posting from an RV newsgroup. He is somewhat knowledgeable
about RVs, but obviously less so about boats.



Speaking of RV's, do you need a special license to drive one of those
bus like contraptions?
