Great shots Jeff. Love the Varrazano Bridge shot and Montauk Lighthouse shots especially. What was the elapsed time of the run?

Dont know The Time Or Run But The miles Was 260 miles not 248 miles Jeff

3.5mpg is quite a feet for a 30' boat.
What was the average speed?

I ran out to Block Island this weekend and burned 29gal for 54miles at an average of 42mph. That's double the fuel for a similar size boat.

I run 2.8 - 3.0 mpg all day every day, mostlly WOT. Another reason my fellow boaters hate my Superboat!!
I just smile and wait for them to get fueled up....

That is incredible economy for a 30’ boat with 425HP.

The 425HP/496 is a much more efficient engine than the old 415HP/502. My old 24' Superboat burned about the same as my newer boat with the same engine. Never much more than 2mpg.

Those new Suzuki 4 stokes are great. I know a fellow with one that is 9-10 years old and has never had a problem.

I got a ride in the 30 CC last weekend, my neighbor has one, and that 300 suzuki was an impressive engine. Thing is silent at idle, it had good power , it got the boat moving real well and the owner was really impressed with the gas consumption he was getting
