Exclamation CAT OWNERS- Gallons per hour Burned??

I am looking for information from other who have 30-35 foot catamarans,
How much fuel do you burn per hour? Also post what your engine setup is, NA, supercharged, turbos etc.
1 engine, 2 engines ?
How are you calculating gallons per hour use also

They are right. If fuel matters you need to go OB boat.

As an aside, I use about two gallons a mile at 120ish.

I just know that I burn a LOT less fuel than with the 34 SCARAB and cruise a lot faster and have a lot more fun.
