We're two weeks into our great loop trip and have a good idea of fuel economy in real life conditions. Our 23 has a Honda 135 and we're fully loaded including a Kayak on top.So far we've averaged 3.5, 3.7 and 4.2NMPG under a variety of seas and speeds. The 4.2 was a 170 mile leg from Tarpon Spring Fl to Ft Myers. It was quite calm most of the way and a lot of the time we were at 25 knots and 4200 rpm trimmed out. When we were in the gulf and it was rougher we had to get the bow down &economy suffered. Linda is doing a Blog at http://voyageofsimplicity.blogspot.com .
