Skipjack MPG info needed

25 FB Skippy · Aug-22-2006, 08:36 PM

Does anyone have real world MPG for the following Skipjacks.
25 Flybrige with a Diesel (Volvo, I do not know HP rating yet, but it does have a turbo and appears to be a later model unit by the pictures)
25 Flybrige with a 350
25 Flybridge with a 454
All have DuoProp outdrives.

Thanks for any and all information

I've got a 25' FB with a 350 and duoprop, and my flowscan tells me I get between 1.5 and 2.0 depending on conditions, load, etc.

Obviously, the 454 would add to the gas consumption, and I believe the diesels generally range between 2 up to 5 or so, depending on engine model and other conditions. Others with diesels can elaborate / confirm...

I did a 224 NM trip 2 weeks ago and refueled 62 gallons. Loaded boat with 3 of us and at least 200 lbs. of ice in 2 huge coolers, generator, and gear. My boat is a 262 Skipjack with a KAD44P-C diesel running 14-16 kts. most of the day

Thanks to all for your replies.
Have any of you heard of a 25 Skippy FB coming with a 454 and thru hull exhaust? Some say this combination is very loud.
Thanks again,

I've got a 25' skippy fisherman with a 350 chevy duo prop. The best I can get is 1.5 - 1.75 per gallon. If any one can tell me how to improve on that I'll take them fishing for free.
