Hi folks. I just got back from a one week cruise from western Long Island Sound up the Hudson River, ending at the junction of the Erie Canal and Mohawk River. It was the first time that I was that far north on the river and this proved to be a great adventure!
In general, I was running her between 3200 and 3400 RPM's for a good portion of the trip. Cruising speed, depending on current and weather conditions was around 17 to 19 mph. My average burn rate was 20 - 22 GPH.
In my mind I think that's pretty good considering that I am moving 18,000 lbs around at a relatively quick pace.

Nice...I guess you came back much faster than going.... ....What equipment are you measuring flow rate with ?

I top off the tanks and divide total volume of fuel purchased by the number of hours between runs.

Will you post what boat and engines?

2005 Mariner M36. 6.0 Captains Choice. They generate 375HP per engine.
