kheid,
I have had the boat for six years. It came with a floscan, that I monitored all the time when ran. I disconnected it a few years ago, due to the sensor going out and a poss. air leak at the fuel lines.
The motor is a 1991 Rude 200hp. with a rebuilt powerhead with aprox. 200hrs on it.
My notes when the floscan was working
4200 rpm 35mph @10gph was best 3.5m per gal.
5600 rpm 46-47mph 16-20 gph depending
That was with two aboard 1/2 to 3/4 full tank of gas. light tackle.
Now days, after adding a kicker, that drags the water, always three aboard and tons more trolling stuff, and no flowscan.
it still runs the same at cruise, but a tad slower on top end, no clue as to GPh, it will hit 36knots or 42mph pretty easy. I don't really push it, or keep up with the figures, just fish it, and she goes.
