36 Grady twin 350's

Looking for real world numbers on fuel consumption with a full canyon load/run, day troll, approx gallons burned from actual owners, thanks.

Judging from my 336, you'll be at .8 to .9 MPG

33 GW Express...16k lbs.

.9 to 1.1 depending on seas.

Virtually impossible to improve on 0.7 MPG at cruising speed. Trolling depends on seas -- maybe up to 1.2 MPG.

Hope this helps!

I have a 2008 36' Express and in my experience after approx 200hrs of use I seem to be averaging around .7 mpg when I cruise at a speed of around 30-32 mph. Hope this helps.

i have an 07 with triple 250's. i get .8 +/- all the time at cruising speed. boat weighs in around 21000lbs on the travel lift and was not full of fuel. what is interesting I find is that when i run the boat with little fuel, my consumption is the same as when it loaded. i figured the twin 350's would be better fuel. maybe those new 300hp with a 19pitch prop would help. i know that in 09 i used just a little over 1600 gallons at 2.90/gallon or 4500+ in cost,. 90hrs on the engines. I have not totaled this year up yet. i try to measure my fuel usage in annual cost, and just compare it to going on a cruise, or fancy trip. now those guys reading this with the single engines, are having a cow on the cost to run this boat. But, we all have our entertainment $.

It's all relative. When I tell my land-based friends about my 1.8-2.0 MPG on my twin engine Gulfstream with twin 200's, they stare in disbelief.

Compared to a Toyota, it's pretty scary. Compared to a 60-ft. Cruiser it's reasonable.
