Trip 525SC's in a 47 will be sucking down the fuel. I would bet 2-3 gallons per mile.
A friend had trips 525SC's in a 42 and used 2.5 times as much fuel as I did in a weekend with my twin 502mpi's.
I had a 525SC in my Pantera and I get much better mileage at cruise with twin 502mpi's in my 32 AT.

I burn 40(20 per engine) gallons per hour cruising at 3500 RPM at 53 MPH. 525's(2) with upgrades cams and SM exhaust in a Cig Bullet. Have spent 5,500. in fuel this summer.

good luck bidding!!


P.S. i bet the boat goes for over 60k
I'm still weighing the options of rebuild or part out.........this time of year, the parts and a bare hull will sell much easier than a complete boat around 100K
This is all assuming I end up buying the boat and for how much!

Thanks for the luck.................we'll see what happens

mabe? i have bought several items from that place in the past, they usually tell you if boats have been winterized and it dont state that it was,pic were takin in the winter so that boat has been sitting for probably 7 months and who knows if the drives are still on it..

their has been a 47 forsale in the classifieds for several months so it were to be parted out it would be hard to sell.
