How many MPG?

I know it is a tough question based on driving habits, etc, but how far will 20 gallons go with a 19 foot cuddy I/O with a 165 hp four cylinder? Figure calm water bay usage.

I am not asking for precision, but rather a ballpark.

At normal cruising speed it will burn 4 to 5 gph, so 20 gallons will last 4 or 5 hours. To calculate mpg we need to know speed and that will depend a lot on how heavily the boat is loaded. Wayne.B

My 19' bow rider uses 15 gallons on a full day of watersports. When fishing, William

It depends entirely on what type of usage. For water sports, where you're constantly on and off plane, I would venture a guess somewhere in the 2 miles per gallon area. On a steady cruise at optimum cruise speed, you could easily double that number. RG

Well, I had a Bayliner Trophy 21 ft cuddy with an OMC 140 Chevy engine, when cruising at about 22 mph I would get around 4 to 5 MPG in fairly calm water.

I don't normally measure distance or GPH as I am usually fishing and don't care, but on a few 100 mile plus trips I did take I did get as stated.
