Speed X Fuel consumption Table.Carver 3207 (1988)

Postby Carlson Lemos » March 20th, 2021, 11:37 am

Hello Mariners,

I have a 1988 3207 Aft cabin Carver with a 260HP , 350CID, Mercury 5.7 Litre engine. I need a table or chart of Speed Versus GPM consumption. Does anybody have one or know where I can get one?

Your Help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Carlson Lemos.

You can try this table for GPH / RPM conversion, but speed is going to be tough to find. Way to many variables, weight, condition of hull, sea condition, etc. I would think you should get around 18 MPH at 3000 RPM, but just a guess. You would need to find that by the actual boat test at various RPM's. Good luck. 8-) er

My brother used to have a 3207 with 350’s some years ago. I seem to recall the 18 mph at 3000 is fairly close

That fuel usage table is fairly accurate in my experience.
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.
