I'm planning some longer cruises for next summer on big lakes with fewer fuel stops available. This summer I'm keeping a log of fuel used vs time on the engine, the idea is to form a crude set of fuel planning charts so I have an idea of how far I can go. I understand factors such as wind, current, water temp, boat loading, etc will affect the data so I'll keep it conservative.
My question is this: Is there some fuel flow data already compiled so the rest of us don't have to do this on our own? I have a '97 Merc 5.7LX Alpha One driving a 23.5 foot Chaparral with cuddy.
Thanks in advance!
