LOTS haha. I've had them in 2 boats. I never did the math on the consumption but I'd guess cruise at about 25 gal/hr per. That was a 38 and 42 Fountain. I know WOT was over 130 gal/hr :O

It's all in the sticks. The XR's are great. You just cant firewall them and expect nothing to happen. combined 300 hrs on 600/bracvo xr and never one problem. I did however have an issue with the head bolts on a set of 600's when I let Steve run the boat on his bday. Evidently they didnt like a 60 mile run at WOT LOL

Are you looking at the Top Gun in the want-ads, I always wondered why that boat hasn't sold? Maybe fuel consumption is the reason.

Solid power plants pretty much on snooze, however they are very very thirst mills. It is also real hard to find the shafts for the B & M 420 blowers .The input shafts are the weakest link that I saw with our 600SCs.We broke both Port and Starboard shafts within 10 hrs or so at around the 240 hr mark.
