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.

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!
