Welcome to iBoats . . . :D

2.5 MPG is my guess, based on what my 24 footer got for mileage.

$24,856 is my market value guess :unsure:

Check Bucvalue.com to see if they have an estimate for the boat.

Your motor will burn 0.4# of fuel per hp per hour

How much power are you commanding?

It sounds like it is about 385 hp,I don’t know a whole lot about it yet, just wanted to get some facts before driving the 4hrs to see it. I am not a flat out all the time guy, those days are way behind me lol.
