you think about it, and that isn't bad at all. That is about 1 mile per gallon. i get just above 1.5 miles per gallon at best cruise around 29-36 mph on my express cruiser. Lightweight vs. moving condo. Friction on these hulls moving through water is our enemy, more than horses under the hood. Sort of like an aerodynamic Corvette getting low 30's on the highway, vs. a mid 20's mpg minivan.
