Will some of you FloScan guys chart your gas usage for us?

I/we would be interested in the following. I know there are many factors, just looking for ball park.

Give us the specs on your boat.......Year, length, dirty bottom, loaded fuel and gear?????

**One engine at 1800 (8mph/6.95 knots), dragging one prop. More or less efficient to drag a prop?????
**Two engines at 1800.

**At cruise, around 2800.

**WOT

I know we have discussed this before. I would like to take the guessing out and see what your FloScan is saying.

Thanks!!
