Seafarer Questions, New Member

[Airslot]

New Member here. Have been lurking and searching for a bit. We have been looking for our next boat and have narrowed the search down to a mid 90's 22' SeaFarer 228G. Most seem to be powered with 200-225 Yamaha's or Johnsons. My first question is, anybody have fuel burn numbers for a 228G w/ a mid 90's 2 stroke, preferably w/ hard top.

Thanks,

Airslot

Below is a link to Yamaha's archives. The test data posted below the link is on a 222 - same hull, but a center console. Close as I could find. Engine in this test is a 200 HPDI. I'm sure others will report their first hand experiences

To stay conservative, I calculate 2 nmpg for my rig, but it does better than that. Older 228G, hardtop, OX66 225.
