I'm planning a long trip and need to come up with a fairly accurate guestimate of my fuel consumption and estimate range.
I haven't carefully calibrated this on recent trips since I had some sailing, some motorsailing and little prolonged motoring. I would estimate (hopefully on the conservative side) .9 gallons per hour at a normal 1200-1500 rpm cruise.
My boat, as operated, likely weighs in at 9000-10,000 lbs. I have a 2-bladed, non-feathering prop.
Any of you with comparable sized boats: What is your estimate on your A-4's fuel consumption (Gallons Per Hour)?
