mine is about the same as yours...although I think your a foot longer...but I get at about 3800rpm...about 14-16gals/hr......US measurements of course....but we're usually running about 4000 rpm's which give us about 18gals/hr...now if the water smooth ..we get really good mileage..

were probably only going to be averaging about 10knots as its a river trip but its about 100miles round trip but theres no fueling stations so i need a good reserve

i am thinking that at 2000rpm (8knots)hull speed i am burning about 4 gals p/hr does this seem about right
