With 6-71 Nats you're going to cruise at hull speed, or around 10 knots, with ease. I think these burn around 5 each at an easy cruise RPM. So, 1 per mile, give or take.

I actually thought it might get a bit better than 1MPG with that power at hull speed.

It might be. I cruise 11.2 knots at 1525 RPM on 12v71TI's. I back down to 1450 RPM, still manage 10.8, but cut my fuel burn from 16 to 12. So every boat is different, and every barnacle has a different impact, but more or less you'll get a range around 1nm/g with genny, maybe slightly better in the right conditions.

She's a real looker. I'd have been all over her if not already into my Burger. Glad I am where I am, but she sure is a nice one.
