I have triples and don't mind. Like pookie said one mile to the gallon, but I love the ammenities. The biggest problem with triples right now is getting it financed.

I also wonder what people spend on a day's worth of fuel with trip 500's?

'99 47' Fountain-525SC, '87 22' Velocity-735 Blower
|
I have had a '99 47' with triple 525SCs for several years now in upper part of Chesapeake Bay. Great boat in any weather conditions and uses less fuel per mile than my buddies Sea Rays, Regals, etc. Just bought a canal property in Florida and will be trading down to something in the 30' to 35' range to trailer back and forth if anyone wants to trade up to the 47'.

Why not trailer the 47?

Pookie answered you. It depends how hard you run. I can make the belly tanks last all weekend in my triple 540's or I can burn throught the belly tanks in 4 hours. I could do the same thing in my twin 502 29 Fountain.
It all comes down to how hard and how long you run. I prefer three mild engines vs. two big blower engines myself.
