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

The pumps at the fuel dock have to be calibrated every once in awhile by law, so the readings there are most likely quite accurate. That leaves your "Hour Meter". I suspect your Hour Meter is running only intermittently, causing you to get bad GPH figures when you do the math at fillup.
