Fuel burn estimate for a small sportfish boat

1/10 GPH per HP x2.
Find your HP curve per RPM and figure from there.
I would guess your going to easy cruise @ 150HP each, 30 GPH total.

I had a ole Yam 225 (fuel injected, 2 stroke) on one of our 20' work boats. Deliberately under propped a bit (tow boat).
Easy cruise was close to 15GPH, maybe 20 kts.
It would suck some fuel on a fast tow but ran amazingly well for a single.
Tach was never reliable.
I did put a proper stainless wheel when we were selling her, Dam fast also over 30 kts throttle to the pins.

Hang on, That ole yam was a fuel injected 4 stoke. I typed wrong.
That is how it towed so well also. Lots of low end torque.

It was a Mariner 3L, 2 stroke on my last work boat (Floater Boat).

Currently shopping for another CC. Smaller with a big engine for our towed tender and river boat.

Also, tap on the MFG.

10 gph at 4000 rpms, 12-13 gph at 4500 rpms, per motor.

That's what my thoughts were.

They're a very mid tier boat. Very popular here because they sell the sizzle, but they lack a little on the steak.

+1 on CaptJ's post. Look forward to your observations on the Scout, Mapism. For me, it doesn't pass the 'knuckle' test. Knock on the side of the hull and you can physically see a reverberation. It's not confidence inspiring. Otherwise, nice looking boat with good ergonomics. I *think* their larger boats are better built but the 23-28 range could use another laminate layer.

Yeah, agree: Looked closely at a new Scout a few months ago, but decided on the competition instead and glad I did, saved 4ok and this thing works just as good.

My neighbor bought a new 38 (?) 2 years ago, First winter spent in the fiberglass shop as it was delaminating. Obviously repair was on Scouts dime, but still troubling.
