Hi all,

Recently purchased a Mariner 2897 with twin 5.0 Mercruisers. I would love to know what folks see on average for GPH at 16-18kt cruise, as well as any interesting ownership stories, sea tales, etc. We'll be launching in coastal Maine next spring - I CAN'T WAIT!!

Welcome aboard and NICE LOOKING BOAT!!

Not sure exactly on the fuel economy, but I'd guess you might get close to 1.5 MPG at 16-18kt cruise, or 12-14GPH combined.
