Why do a sea trial in calm water ?? Take it out in a force 4 or 5, and then we can see how it performs !

[@FishingAdventuresofWellPlumbed]

All depends how hard you push the throttle, 25knots, 40l per hour , 35knots 70l per hour

Love those thrusters. They simplify docking immensely

Can you share the prop size and model? Thanks.

[@FishingAdventuresofWellPlumbed]

14” x 17pitch mercury energy prop

What is the fuel economy like? We're looking to go to a boat of a similar size and the Merry Fisher, Anatres and Quicksilver are on my list. We have an Axopar 28 at the moment as part of a boat share, and although we love it I find it gobbles fuel and isn't the most practical boat for getting around on if you have an elderly relative or two onboard.
