I like the ocean pro...

It looks very good, how fast is it in topspeed with honda 200 and fuelconsumtion.

[humber ocean 69]

top speed is around 4 knots with 2 or 3 people on board, im not sure if thats what it should do for this size engine and boat thou, fuel isant too bad untill you open it up flat out every where! cruiseing at 30 knots i prop use about £40 a day in her , the engine has only done 270 hrs!

How much do you pay for fuel?! @ 100ppl I make that about 0.3 litres per mile, rather frugal by anyone's standards

With the weight of that boat and a 200 4 stroke, i wouldn't have thought you would get under 1L a mile. We have a 6.3 Humber OP with opti 2 stroke, not much less economical than a 4 stroke. At 25 mph we get 1L per mile.

4 hours at 35mph. You will have travelled 140miles. at £1.10p/l you have spent £154. Give or take some economy and stopping starting, even if you reduce the distance by a third due to pottering around and reduce it to 0.75L per mile, you will have spent £77.



Lovely looking boat though, if not a tad underpowered perhaps. Though a nice cruiser.
