How efficient are you???

Here is my gps running back to the docks today:

10.3 gph at 4030rpm running 29+mph with 1/2 fuel and full gear on a true 25'6" hull

Those are great #'s. 8)

My computer screen's a little blurry. The last set of #'s on the Garmin...is that 105.5 decibels? Nice feature, haven't seen a GPS with decibel meter.

huh??? I cannot hear you

good numbers, what's the dry weight of the hull?

 

[B-Faithful]

My catalog lists it at 3800#. However, that does not include the pilothouse/topsides. It is quote a bit lighter than the Parkers as it only has an 8'6" beam and even shallower deadrise of 12 degrees.

2520DVSC Last week 3/4 fuel, 4 guys and a good load of gear......16.5gph 4800rpm @38mph....2.3mpg, twin 150 4 strokes gotta love it..

Wow! those are great numbers with twins and a deep v!

I get 9.0 -- 10.0 gph at 4200 rpm and about 25 mph (depending on trim) out of twin F-115s on my 2510 WA. She has a 14 degree deadrise. On a bluebird day when the water is like a mirror, I've run at 13.5 gph, at 4800 rpm and get 33 mph. Those numbers come from an average of runs with the fuel about 3/4 full, two fishermen, ice in the fishbox, and fishing gear.

At my normal cruise of 4200 rpm, I have about 12.5 hours of range, which should get me about 325 miles down range.

Dave, I bet those twin 115's are more efficient than a single f225. Good numbers :!:
