I'm looking so see how many gals I burn an hour running about 35 to 40 mph at about 5000 rpms. Its pushing a 20' proline center console. Any help would help.

Re: 98 Johnson ocean runner question

I have 95 175hp oceanpro on 21' trophy. I cruise 3800rpm @ 26 mph and use about 7-8 gallons/hr. At 5000, you are at max hp and will burn about 15 gallons/hr. Sacrifice some rpms and the fuel economy is much better (in my case 1/2).
