Fuel Consumption

I am looking to buy a 46' kha shing with twin tamd 71 a engines. Any idea of the fuel consumption and what problems are common to them.

Excellent engines, make sure they have been regularly serviced (and that there are receipts/records). How many hours on them?

Fuel burn depends on hull type and how hard you run them (duty cycle), all the info can be found at this link:
