I am new to this forum but not new to boating. I am totally baffled by this GPH. I am reading 2.5-30 GPH. I take this as you are burning between 2.5 and 3 gallons per hour. This seems incomprehensible to me.

I have a 21 foot bow rider with a small block all stock. At best I burn 8 GPH. I run the boat anywhere between 2200 rpm – 3500rpm. Ok maybe once this year I passed Mee-N-Mac’s place at 4800. But only once. I usually cruise around 28 MPH @ 2700 RPM

What am I doing wrong I would love to get 2.5 – 3 GPH.

Thanks
