Fuel Economy?
 

How many gallons per hour would a Factory 2 32 Foot V-hull burn with carbed 500's. Lets say in a hard poker run or race condition?

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, the carbed 500's burn around 40 gph, WOT. So, with twins, that would be about 80 gph :eek:

I once heard 1/2 a pound of fuel per H.P. per Hr.

40 Gallons per hour sounds close I would of taugh a little more.

I have 600SC's with twin 700cfm's on each mills and at WOT I'am above 120 g/h.

Ittlfli,

Don't worry about that fuel consumption son...that's all part of the fun :drink: However I have found that fuel consumption is directly proportional to the amout of forward inertia applied to the throttles.

So...what ya' gettin?
