Mine is best around 22-23knots, at around 20l per hour. So just under 1nm per liter. Flat rack 32 knots, and 55litres per hour....
That's a single 150hp merc,

They are good... mine is 2015 and has been great.... at the moment it has a jet unit and tiller steering and has only had fresh water use.... but luckily I still have the gear case.

Have you posted any photos of your boat... any idea how heavy it may be?...(To help with my fuel estimations) .... with a 10mm plate bottom, this one will not be a light weight boat... but then it now is a few hundred Kgs less than original without the inboard Chev.

Mines a FC620HT. About 2200kg all up on the trailer. That's with 180L fuel and 2 chilli bins, on board toilet, and half a fishing tackle shop,.....

Nice!... And it is unlikely I will be as quite as heavy as that, so I will work using your fuel consumption figures to size my fuel tank.... cheers
