Alright Guys, What type of fuel economy does the 36TriCabin get at cruise. Iam used to running 2100rpm/19knts at about 20-21gph. Just Trying to get a ring aroung this boat. Thanks JC

That sounds about right... I believe 1 gal per mile is a good standard for those Trojans... certainly works for F32.

The F with gas will burn more fuel then the f32. the F36 gas will be apox .6-.8 mpg the feel burn at cruse will be close to your 45" diesel . now at hull speed( 8 knots or so) the F36 won't be too bad if your down sizing to save fuel you will need to go a lot smaller or go with diesels .

JC3 - I can scan and send you a copy of the owners manual for my 36 Tri-cabin which gives you power settings, fuel consumption, and associated cruise speeds for all of the various engine packages available for the Tri-cabin. I found it to be very accurate when cruising. This may help you when you are looking at some with various engine packages.

Let me know.

What fuel burn do you get at cruse ? and at what speed ? My number are from 2 boats one like mine but with big blocks (.6) the other a tri cabin with 270hp small blocks and I not sure he knows for sure . they both cruse around 15-17 knots

Paul -

On the 670 mile trip we took last summer, we cruised at 2900RPM to keep us out of the 4bbl's and I got 18 knots and 23 gph fuel consumption. I have twin Merc 255's that have about 1100 hours on them. I have 250 gallons on board so we could cruise for a long time and did - cruising for about 10 hours or 180 nautical miles when the weather would allow.

thats not bad .
