Kind of makes me glad I have an ETEC.

Have you ever figured out your miles per gallon?

The engine on our "new to us" 27 footer is relatively hi tech with
electronic multiport fuel injection, etc. We seem to be averaging
somewhere around 2.2 to 2.3 NMPG which seems decent enough to me for a
6,000 lb boat cruising at 26 to 27 kts.

Not really if only because it not relevant to me - I think.

On average, I use 3.6 gallons per hour of run time. That includes
cruise, trolling as I very seldom run WOT all the time.

The most I've ever used with the ETEC which was on a beat the weather
run - 5.2 gallons per hour and I made the run from Race Rock to
Westerly WOT @ 50 mph.

Never really figured miles per gallon.

Those are good numbers.

How many horsepower?
