You probably know more than I know about performance figures. I did see the gas guage and it was just under half a tank. Rpms were around 6400 while the old 350 sci's were running 6800 on a Nortech at the Shootout a couple of years ago.

Perfectly matched in staggered spectrum that will allow you to go to the outside.

Of course, we are talking about NASCAT, the most detail-oriented and inquisitive person I've ever met. So, just for notations sake, I am sure he will have a full breakdown.

I realize most of the time cruise speed will be 50 or 60, but when you are crossing the gulf stream to or from the Bahamas sometimes 30 is a nice speed to have a comfy ride in 4-6ft seas. Just curious to see what the numbers are, thinking about maybe building one with some tuned Yanmar 6LP's. Whatever mpg it gets with outboards it will get at least 1 mpg better with diesels.

I heard Rebel's boat saw 1.4mpg at 60mph cruise but I don't really know the details.
The mpg info will be in your Garmin displays just go to the engines page or you can add it to one of the corners of the nav chart. You don't have to do it the old fashioned way.

10-4, my Vessel View is way smarter than me BUT I will have you know I did win the Inaugral Fontana race on fuel w/ Jeff Gordon calculating fuel mileage w/ a scale, pad, pencil & $5 solar calculator

Nice work 370ss, hilarious!
PS- for those of you who didn't know Hendrick Motorsports built the cars for that movie & it's about Rick Hendrick the first owner to try to manage 2 drivers in 1 stable. Rowdy is a spin off Tim Richmond w/ the sickness etc.
