Cruising costs
2004 360ss, 2x 8.1 VP's
50 hours, 302 liters used (80 US gallons).
Cost= $412 Canadian.
=$1.36 a liter.
6.04 liters per hour , equals, $8.21 per hour to putt around in this boat.
This boat is cheaper to run than my other boat, a Rinker 280ec with 1 x 8.1 Merc.

Oddly enough I used to be a 32mph guy yet now its 11-13 kph on auto pilot. So much more relaxing and time to take in the scenery. Love this new way of navigating.
