I recently bought a left over 2005 vista 288 with twin 4.3 liter Volvo Ocean Series (245 hp) I/O's . The boat weighs about 10,000 pounds. I was curious as what to expect as far as MPG cruising about 3000 rpm. I assume that with 120 gallons I should get around 80-100 miles between fill ups. Am I anywhere in the ball park or am I way off base. Thanks....CIGARMAN |

Welcome to the board. Fuel flow stat's for your boat and engine combo are: 3,000 RPM, Boat Speed 23 mph, Fuel Flow 16 gallons per hour. If you haven't found it already, this FW site gives you the info on your boat under Fast Facts. http://www.fourwinns.net/ |

I average 1.7 mpg at optimal cruise, '04 Vista 288 w/ twin 5.0 Gxi/DP. (per Navman3100 Fuel computer) Fuel burn is ~ 19 gph at 3400 rmps at a speed of 32-34 mph Looking at the Four Winns spec sheet, at 3000 rpm, the 5.0's get better economy than the 4.3's...interesting |
