Re: 340 SUNDANCER THREAD
340 Sea Ray Sundancer Captains ... we returned from a recent trip in heavy seas (about 60 miles) and at 4000 rpm and we were burning 27 gals per hour. Does this sound reasonable to you? about 0.9 miles per gal.

Brian--
27GPH at 4000RPM in heavy seas is GREAT! I'm a stickler for monitoring GPH and have done so for virtually every long outing for ~3 years.
I average 30-34 GPH, depending on the conditions in a 8.1 v-drive boat. Normally (in~ 2 ft seas), I average 32 GPH at ~3540 RPM doing between 26-27 MPH.
Hope this helps?!
