Speed X Fuel consumption Table.Carver 3207 (1988)

Post by Carlson Lemos »

Hello Mariners,

I have a 1988 3207 Aft cabin Carver with a 260HP , 350CID, Mercury 5.7 Litre engine. I need a table or chart of Speed Versus GPM consumption. Does anybody have one or know where I can get one?

Your Help is greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Carlson Lemos.

You can try this table for GPH / RPM conversion, but speed is going to be tough to find. Way to many variables, weight, condition of hull, sea condition, etc. I would think you should get around 18 MPH at 3000 RPM, but just a guess. You would need to find that by the actual boat test at various RPM's. Good luck. 8-) er

My brother used to have a 3207 with 350’s some years ago. I seem to recall the 18 mph at 3000 is fairly close

That fuel usage table is fairly accurate in my experience.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.
