Gentlemen.
First off let me start by saying I know my boat is a pig on fuel ( 1989 Carver Santego 34.. with a pair of 454 Bluewaters) but I was wondering if anyone had some sort of an idea of what the fuel burn should be. I have done a major overhaul of the engines, but was wondering if the carbs might be getting a little old.?
I have tried looking for old boat tests done on the boat and have been unable to come up with anything, other than the original sales brochure .Lots of pretty pictures of beautiful people relaxing in the sun. I would love to know best cruise etc..any help would be much appreciated, by the way the boat tips the scales around 16,000 lbs, 4 blade props and wot on the motors is supposed to be around 4200..4400 rpms
Thanks Pete
