"Normal sea conditions" is a subjective thing however I would guess between 30&50 litres per hour, per engine, at 30knot cruise.

I normally cruise around 30-35knots which is roughly 4-4.5k revs - so 80/90 litres an hour in total. That's a very comfortable speed and for a 10m a very easy speed to maintain even if the conditions are poor, in fact that's the larger ribs party piece, even in nasty seas you can cover some ground.
You'll also find yourself pushing the throttles every now and again, yes the economy will suffer but with those verado's supercharges whining behind you and 60+ knots on the gps your grin will also grow ( it's addictive ) ................and you do tend to get to places quickly lol
