Looking to get into something a bit bigger. Recently sold a Donzi Sweet 16 w/V6. I am wondering what type of fuel usage I can expect running in the mid 30's on a lake? With fuel prices in the $3.50 range I am wondering .......
Thanks.
Thanks.

OK.. so how reliable is BoatTEST.com
Tested by Capt. Ron Svoboda
Hammering down the Mercury Racing throttles, the Outlaw accelerated quickly to a top speed of 70.8 miles per hour at 4850 rpm. In order to get the most efficient cruise speed you will have to back the throttles down to 3500 rpm. This will result in fuel economy of 1.52 miles per gallon while traveling 52.5 miles per hour. So properly equipped, the new 30 Outlaw will provide even the most jaded offshore enthusiast with a great ride!

I would guess my 36 with 500's getting 1 mpg.
