i spoke to the owner of this boat Rick out of Savannah, GA and he reassured me that it burned 3-3.5 gallons per hour at cruise.

But the second part helps to make more sense, as it would be much heavier boat.

3-3.5 MPG at cruise is plausible, 3-3.5 GPH at cruise is about right for a 13' whaler but highly unlikely for a 20' or even 18' Seacraft...

Here is a reference I use for generalized fuel consumption

Tom - That's a 1999 150 two stroke Saltwater Series II . . . 2.5 - 3 is MPG not GPH. There is NO WAY he's moving that boat at 2.5 - 3GPH except trolling at idle speeds.




Here's a couple of similar setups from the yamaha motor's archive.
