Hull Runabout
What's the fuel consumption of a 50HP outboard motor?
I'm planning to commute 8 miles each way every day by boat, and have placed a bid in an auction on a runabout with a 50HP Mercury outboard, two-stroke.
It's a planing hull with a windscreen, 5 metres long, and I suppose I wouldn't go full-throttle, just enough to go into planing mode, and then cruise along like that.
The boat comes with a 20L (5 gallon) tank. Would I be walking to the petrol station with that on a daily basis?
You'll probably be burning around 6 to 8 gallons per hour, so the key here is what the planing speed of the hull is. Planing boats are not a particularly fuel-efficient breed; a displacement hull is much more efficient provided you keep the speed (and the wake) down. Without seeing the boat or knowing the condition of the motor, I'd guess that you will be making regular trips to the fuel dock. 4-stroke engines are more fuel efficient, and ripping everything that is not essential out of the boat to reduce weight will help. Good Luck!
