Sounds very low. I actually checked my 322 equiped with 502's using the trip meter on my GPS 5 people on board, full coolers and a load of gear I got just over 1.5 mpg.... But Irish is right if you got to ask or worry about mpg with a performance boat you need to rethink your boat choice.

Mpg??
I have a 24 with a blower motor pushing 700 hp, never even considered trying to figure out gas mileage. Just fill it up on the way out and fill it up on the way in !! I do have to say my 28 cobalt with a 496 gets great gas mileage and I will try to calculate that one of these days.

Thanks. I know it´s not like driving a Prius but I will by a 29 OL and want to gett the best engine setup for high mpg at cruise because I´m from Sweden and the gas costs like 3 times as much here.
I´m thinking a large singel engine with a charger. The boat is 1200 lb lighter with a single.
Or what do you think, am I wrong?
Sorry bout the spelling...

Boattest.com on my Baja 272 had best cruise around 30mph and 2.7mpg. Twins are gonna be around 1.5mpg at best cruise.
The difference between 454's and 496's would be insignificant. They're both big blocks.
Boats in general aren't known for fuel economy unless it's a sailboat. LOL
