Location: Conn in summers , Ortona FL in winter , with big dock & room for O'nite stop .
Most measurements of performance on military boats are at almost top speed.

That's where the kids run them.

We have a USN Utility 50 ft that is a "lobster yacht" . We ran the "Loop" in the US and in 6000 miles the burn was under 3gph at 7K.

Top speed light is 12K , but the fuel burn is 12-14 gph , not for us.
