I have a couple of questions...
1 the Speed-O says 60 ... I gather the top speed is around 50-60mph ...what is the typical cruising (on plane speed for these boats?
2 with the twin engines about how many hours of cruising do you guys get on average?
I know wind water conditions and every boat will vary. I just am looking for a feel for what you guys have gotten with yours.
2 hours vs. 10 hours is a big difference

136 gallons.
No clue on how many hours per tank - but a ROUGH guess is 22-24 gallons per hour @ 40 based on poker runs...which is never a steady cruise speed.

she's a nice looking ride (far better shape than mine.
looks to be mid to late eighty's(?)
That looks to be in the ballpark, my guestimates have been based on. 4-6 hours of play time.

We have a lot of fun with it.
As Glassdave says, they are big boats for being only 26' long.

I have been there, and exchanged emails with him.
Sadly my boat though a Stinger style is not allowed because of the lacking of badging.
Mine was born just before the stinger name .. Although the Excalibers are included.
Non the less it is a great website
