    Why do you need fuel flow meters? The DDEC's have fuel readings right on them. Does this version in this boat not have this?

    The GPH should be right at each RPM point.....the speed in the test is about 10% optimistic. I wouldn't bother with floscans......as long as you have a fuel burn chart.......easy to calculate.

    As Captain J said, The GPH should be right at each RPM point, just make sure that you are propped right and making the max rpm of 2300, otherwise your engines would be overloaded and your fuel burn will be a little higher at the different RPMs
