Fuel consumption per hour.

I was just wondering what people were getting on their boat with say 1000 # ballast. I don't know for sure but i think my SN 2001 with 1200 hours is about 3.5 gal/h. Not like it really matters at this point but when gas hits 5 bucks a gallon it may be a bigger concern.

I think the VLX with stock, wedge and an extra #1000 burns about 8 gallons per hour or $32.00 an hour. Ouch
