Went for quick whizz on the boat this afternoon and this time I looked at the fuel flow meter on the console.The numbers are as follows.At 5/6 knots the engine is using 10 litres per hour.At 15 Knots the meter says I am using 30 litres per hour.By my calculations at 72p per litre works out a at £7.20 per hour for slow cruise or £ 22.00 per hour for sort of fast ish whizz.As about 1-2 hours gets you most places in my neck of the woods it looks like a day out will cost £ 50.00 or so.
Consider the cost of a day out on terra firma using car etc and it is a blooming cheap day out esp if you have half a dozen people on board who bring their own "Refreshments".Princess 25. 175 HP petrol engine.
