guess about fuel-consumption

hi all

i would like to know how much fuel a boat will need. i know, this is not easy to answer, but a guess will be helpful.

think about a boat with 1000 Kg and a 10 jears old outboard-engine with 45 HP. i will drive with full power, while gliding over a flat sea with 35 KM/h.

what do you think how much fuel i will need ?

If you run out... then you need more fuel.

My old 15' fiberglass bowrider was probably about 1400 lbs. It had a 1982 70 hp merc outboard. (I'm told this motor was really mislabelled 55HP) It would cruise at about 50 km /hr and would go through about 10 liters per hour. Denis
