Cruising Range

Postby VolNavy91 » February 21st, 2019, 4:19 pm

Hi,

We are about to start our second season with 1st Date, our 1997 400 with Cummins 6BTAs. So far our longest trip was bringing her home to Paris Landing, TN from Green Turtle Bay in Grand Rivers, KY, about a 45 mile cruise. We were able to do this no problem running on the 100+ gallon reserve tank with fuel to spare, running at about 17 knots or so on the plane. Wondering if anyone has figured out a max range (and optimum speed) for this configuration or similar 355/356 with diesels?

Thanks,

My GAS 355 cruising at 21knts / 24 mph gets an average of .75 MPG a bit better or worse depending on load tides etc. x 310 gallons = 232 miles max range at cruise with no reserve. You should do much better I would think.
