I average between 25 to 27 GPH at 2400 RPMs which gives me a 24 knot speed over ground cruise. 2400 RPMs is my typical cruise setting. When I calculate fuel burn for a trip I use a 25 GPH average for time spent at cruising speed. This makes it easy to do a conservative range and ETA estimate at 1 MPG and 25 MPH. Tuna trolling in the 800 to 900 RPM range is about 5 GPH total. A two day canyon trip with an average 20 hours of main engine run time (including cruise and troll) and 10 hours of generator usage is typically between 280 to 310 gallons total fuel burn. I have comfortable range from Portsmouth, RI to fish Atlantis to Hudson Canyon.

Top end is 30 knots, but I never run at wide open throttle. Not good for the engines and fuel burn probably doubles.

I started winterizing and got as far as the pressure water system and oil changes. I haven't flushed the blocks with antifreeze yet. Not too late for a sea trial, unless they hauled me this week.

Once I list with a broker, I won't have any flexibility in price......
