Beneteau Antares 6.80 - about to purchase?

+1 on the Suzuki.
You've picked the engine that to my humble experience (boating since 1968 in all kinds of vessels), is a beauty to own, a pleasure run and a joy to keep. Ever popular with fellow boaters and in all marinas because of it's low emission of noise and smell.

Congrats!

Thank You Spi, Ye i am happy with our choice from what i have read should be a fantastic engine. Do you have any idea what the fuel consumption may be with it pushing the Antares 680.
Cheers

Fuel comsumption depends on the job done and is mainly controlled at the helm. Demand a lot of power - burn a lot of fuel.

I had the 4-cyl 2 litre 140hp on a 20.5, total weight around 1400 kgs. At WOT it did 34 knots with 2+2 onboard and averaged 0,76 liter per nm at my blended use (6.91 mpg).

Can't say what you're going to burn, but it is one of the better in all tests. Make use of the hulls sweet points (just above idle and slowest speed maintaining a stable planing).


Here's to spoil you
