24 Fuel Range
Anyone have an idea what the fuel burn is in a 24 with a 454 or 502 Mag? I've had several people ask me about my 24 that is for sale and I don't know as I just installed the engine and the boat is sitting in storage again.
Thank you in advance

Re: 24 Fuel Range
Cruise on my boat is 3800-4200.
I know i carry about 52-55gals.
On long runs I get about 2.2mpg at 3800-4000rpm.(50mph)
On short runs here and there, I'll get around 2mpg.
So conservatively, I could run 100mi, but more like 110mi.
I would love to add 20-30more gals somewhere in the hull.

My Superboat with a 454 Mag MPI averaged about 10 GPH. That's mostly cruise, a little WOT, and some idle. I have a 60 gallon tank, I figure I can run about 200 miles on a tank.
