Fuel range...2352 PRO

[joker650]

Just wonering if anyone has this info.
My new boat(2004) Trophy pro, , has the 220hp 5L Chev with a merc leg and a 100 gallon fuel tank.
I figure it cruzes about 50-60kph (30-40mph)- I have only been on it once so not sure on the cruze speed-

2 MPG...does that sound close.
Maybe 3 MPG???

Nice boat! I have a 2004 2302 (O/B) and I get 2-2.5 its a 150 merc. 2 stk so I'd say some where between 2 and 3 mpg IMO . some one one will chime in w/ better more acc. no# . check WOT rpms and make sure you're propped correctly...that'll save gas ans engine.

I have the same engine in a 2359 hardtop and at WOT I have never acheived more than 34 mph under perfect conditions and properly trimmed ... usually it is around 31 - 32
I would not try to cruise that fast as it will wear hard on that engine ... my comfortable cruising speed is around 26 - 27 mph and that is close to 4500 rpm's ..... and knowing what I know now, I backed it down to 4000 rpm

I am not sure if you mean a 2359 as I have not yet seen a 2352 .... if so the 2359 is a heavy boat and I would suspect that a 2352 would be a lighter hull that would allow for a faster cruise speed

having said all that my mpg is between 2 and 2-1/2 ..... before I added a dolefin it was almost always under 2 mpg
