220 gallons, 3 gallons an hr with twin 210 hp Cummins at 7 knots trolling, 513 NM range. 3 day fishing trips were about 120 gallons consumed.
I could get a couple of Holley 390 CFM carbs which would be bigger than I need, but not much. Just wonder about the drive ability of them, and I really want this to be my daily driver and yes am concerned about fuel milage.
Boy, very nice.

As if I need another project, I'm going to go look at this right now.
Seems too good to be true.

Not going to comment about the driver's very restricted view.
Rather than calculating fuel use as "miles per gallon" you'll need to calculate it as "gallons per mile"
Twin 250 HP Hino's Turbocharged. If I keep it at about 8 knots I can actually get about 2 MPG (1.74 Nautical Miles per gallon). At full throttle, you can almost reverse the symbols, at 16 knots I am running right at about 1.75 gallons per mile. Which is why when go cruising, we are at about 8 knots. Besides, I don't have to worry about hitting a partially submerged log at 16 knots, which is a major concern here in the PNW.
