Hi yes I have recently sold my Fairline Corniche it has 200hp 41s on shafts, over 3 fill ups and 500 plus miles cruising I got 1.76 mpg thats mostly cruising at 3100 rpm which gave mostly 22 knots over the ground on gps, hope that helps.

thanks for the reply
the Corniche is on my shortlist of boats to buy, generally highly recomended
how did you get on with yours & why did you sell her
cheers Nick

I have 40Bs in my boat which are slightly smaller, 165hp.
The manual says 6 imp gals per hour which is 27 lts an hour. Thats is absolutely spot on, my boat is a Birchwood 37 and I have tested this time after time, full tilt is about 3400rpm. So with both engines I am burning 12 gals or 54lts an hour. My boat will be heavier than the corniche and is S.D. Hull so the Corniche should push through a bit quicker and I don't think with the 200s will burn much more!

We got on great, she was a 2 owner boat from new, but was original as the day she left BA Peters when I got her in August 2005, the engines had been out and one totally rebuilt bills for 16k from RK marine, the big but was that the tanks were rotten and leaking on the welds.
So I bought her after 2 parties both had surveys and cried off, she came at a good price, but 6 months later I knew why!.
So I removed the engines and tanks, made new stainless ones, gave the engines a coat of paint full service and checkover etc, renewed all the fuel pipes, wiring and exhaust hoses, moved the inlet strainers from the stupid place they were in and flowcoated the bilges in white, modified all the floor so that it came up and away in true Broom style, it looked like a new boat.
Reupholstered in a light beige alcantara type material and new carpets, fitted a diesel 4kw genny that I removed from another Fairline, went through everthing else, scraped off all the antifoul and epoxyed the bottom though it showed no signs of damp anywhere, that got the speed right back up.
Fitted some new davits and a RIB, hinged the arch for road transport, fitted oil and temp gauges to the flybridge as well and thats it.
I think I covered most of what was wrong with an old Corniche, reason for selling is that the front cabin is just not big enough even for me and mrs volvopaul and were not 20 stone between us!
I wish I could have got the twincab version that way I would have a boat now and not be looking at everone elses overpriced rubbish.
As for a sea boat, she does ride bow high even with the tabs right down and will slam if you dont ease off when you should do, she never had any soot on the transom this is a problem with corniches, we had an even later one in 1998 with the tamd41b series engine in the canopy and everthing was black after 40 miles but it had 4 blade props on though I had 32 knots out of once not even flat out ! good luck with your search, great boat for the money, I know where there is a nice ish one 200hp on shaft for about 56k pm me if your interested, cheers.
