locodave Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I have a Bermuda 4.1 with a 25 litre tank. I can luanch the boat at Berowra and go to Spencer and back and probably go back to bar island and back with 4 people on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 That's awesome fuel economy! Gotta love those numbers. Mine burns about 1.6L a minute at WOT! (and then some!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cch Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 thanks guys all good info ive been using around 10-11l going from berowra boat ramp up to big jims point, back to bar point and then back to the ramp. which i thought was a bit much, but have only done it twice and am still playing with trim angles (manual trim so not as easy to change and try the difference) next time will have a gps so i can see what gives the best performance and hopefully best economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locodave Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Would be good to line up all these boats and put them to the test for best fuel economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
