Its not miles per gallon,its gallons per minute.38 is a big heavy boat and trying to figure it out is pointless.

My notes from Wellcraft, '94 or '95.
T 502 (410 hp)
Cruise: 3,000 rpm - 39.1 mph - 27 gph or 1.49 mpg
5,000 rpm - 65 mph - 68 gph - .96 mpg


I have a Thunder series with 465's. I cruise around 42 mph and I'm guessing I get maybe 1 mpg. I've owned Scarabs for 14 yrs. and have been happy with their performance. Not the fastest, but great handling, riding and roomy boat.
