Searay 33 question--new

[jenlis]

I am buying a 1999 Searay 33 Sundancer with the V-drive engines. I need to cruise it a couple hundred miles to get it home. Does anyone know from experience what its cruising speed is, at what RPM, and how many gallons of gas per hour it burns at cruising speed?

Thanks

I have a Sea Ray 37, 1994 w/carburretted 7.4l Mercs and would use, at about 24 Imp gal/hr, 1.4gal/nm, 280 Imp gal for that distance at ~22kt (25mph), assuming flat sea. Cruise is about 25mph at 3500 rpm, or 20mph at 3200 rpm. gal/nm are almost constant in this rpm range. Hope this helps.
