Finally got around to doing some fuel consumption checking this morning, using the Merc Vessel View RPM, MPH & GPH data, then calculated the MPG (statute miles). Pretty light - 280 lbs of crew, 20 gallons of gas, and maybe 50-60 lbs of miscellaneous stuff onboard, bimini dropped. Seas were pretty calm, maybe averaged 1' and wind about 8 knots, mostly on the nose. I'm pretty happy with these numbers, and feel that the 150 has worked out as well or better than expected.
