35 Fountain w/ 500efi's, fuel consumption?
 
Running a good distance and need to know roughly what mpg this package gets at a 60mph cruise. Stepped hull.

1.5 would be my guess

i have a 35 t/s with 525s overall the fuel burn is good under 3800 rpm . i run 60 at around 3500 . i would say around 1.2-1.3

Thanks for your help guys.

If this helps anyone going forward:
We ran the boat with 4 people, lots of gear, and pretty heavy on fuel over a distance of about 210 miles. Quite a few long no wake zones, a decent mix of rough offshore conditions (lots of throttling running probably 40 mph on avg), and calm conditions (running around 55-65 mph). Over this run we averaged right around 1.25 to 1.3 mpg. I'm not that familiar with this engine/hull combo, but that mpg seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Blue, you were right in the ballpark! ;)
