draft 7.5ft. 2 X 12V71N main engines and 671 100KW
generator. Vessel travelling a 10knots with one generator running, my estimate is 67.5GPH, can
you give me your estimate please.

The props are 30x24 4 blade right and left 2 1/4 shafts... trans are twin disc 2.0-1.
Thanks Dan"

the best i can come up with is boat will use around 46gl/per/hr with all 3 engines runing.it can be more or less with boat and load.
