Hi guys I am the new kid on the block.
I am looking to buy a 43-46 C Sportfish for charter fishing out of Fl and NC in Jan 2015.
Fuel burn is a real concern of mine.
I want a good seagoing vessel that gets decent cruise speed and miles run for the amount of fuel burned.
I have been told that I can expect to probably burn in the 30-35 gph range at cruise speed of 20-22 kts, and 15-20 gph at trolling speeds of 6-10 kts.
Is this a pretty good assessment of the fuel burn, for a 45-46' sportfish and if so, what would the fuel burn be for a 42-43' sportfish.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
