96 400 express fuel curves

[expressboy]

I am new to the sea ray forum, I am trying to get up to speed,
( figuratively and literally) moving from a slow long range 50' diesel trawler to the 400 express.
I have a idea of what to expect at cruise regarding fuel consumption with the 454's, but does anyone have fuel curves for this boat over the RPM range?
thanks

Expressboy,

I don't have fuel curves but similar boat - I have the 97 400 Sundancer with 454 MPI's. We cruised a fair bit this summer and typically run 3200 - 3300 RPM and that gives us around 20 knots (per the GPS) dependant on fuel load, wind and current. At that we comfortably get a 200 mile range - I suspect I could squeek more range if I absolutly had to.

Not sure if thats any help at all.

I too have a 400EC 1996 and I just got mine. Haven't had it but 11 days now. Hope to get out this weekend but still have a 270 Sundancer to put away.
Stay in touch as of right now I have no idea what she will do for range, fuel consumption, speed etc. I do plan to track that all next summer.
Stay in touch,
