Gallons Per Hour Estimates Needed ASAP
I am planning a trip in about 3 weeks and need to get my Gallons Per Hour Figures in order to plan my stops.
1990 Mach 1 Endeavor 29 '
Twin STOCK 454's
Mirage Stainless Props
I need Estimates at the following RPM's
2500
2900
3200
3500
The trip I am thinking of taking is around 450 Miles.. So it's important to figure this out.
Please Help.

For those not familiar with the style of boat I attached a pic.

My guess is 1mi=1gal at 2500-3000 rpms. 1.25-1.5mi=1gal at 3500 rpms. Cruise at 45mph...eat 40-45 gallons per hour total. You may get better mileage, this is safe.

Assuming 330's, you'd be around 33 gallons per hour per engine WFO.

A bit different.. but I have to share...
I ran in a Top Gun today that had 675 Chiefs. The flow meters were saying 50 each at 4000rpm.
I think that resembles a garden hose...
