I have a 1997 2900 Open with 454 EFI Crusaders. She uses 15 GPH at 2800 RPM's, about 23 mph. It rides great in 1 - 2 foots seas on the Chesapeake Bay, in 3 - 5 seas we run at 1800 - 2000 rpms, maybe 14 - 16 mph and have always felt safe even if waves crash over the bow. You can see the savings on fuel. I wish you well.
