Author	Topic:   Fuel consumption Conquest 305
twolimes	posted 02-08-2008 03:23 PM ET (US)         I just purchased a 2006 Conquest 305. Haven't picked it up yet. It has the twin 250 Verados. I know the general specs on how much fuel I'm going to use but I was hoping someone has some specific data. Thanks in advance. Steve

At 4100 rpm, (20-23 knots depending on load, sea conditions and wind) 9 1/2 gallons per hour per engine. Trolling with one engine 2200 rpm, about seven knots, 2 1/2 gallons per hour. Overall nmpg 1.2-1.3. Range with 15% reserve 330 nautical miles. Verados unless pushed probably won't do that much worse.
