Sounds about right..... I had a 1997 31' Open w/454 Crusaders and burned about 32 GPH @ 3300 (23 knots).... That's about .7 MPG. I now own a 2003 38' Open w/450hp Cummins and its much better.... Burn is approx. 28 GPH @ 24 knots (.85 MPG) for a boat that is significantly larger......... Happy w/38' OPen
