Carver 32 convertible

[Carver 32]

so I’m a new owner to a carver 32 convertible and I’m just trying to figure out how far can I travel on a full tank of fuel ? Any help on this will be greatly appreciated!

Congrats and welcome aboard. Hopefully someone with the same model will chime in. What is the model year?

I should have asked before; it'll help if the guys knew engine make and model too as there will be different fuel burn rates depending on what you have. The more info you can provide the better.

Here's a website you can use to give a estimate just pick your engines and it gives fuel burn at various rpms. https://www.boat-fuel-economy.com/fuel- ... calculator

Welcome Aboard. Good luck with your Carver.

With a vessel in that age category, the only way to get an accurate read is to fill the tanks, cruise them down to 1/4 tanks, and keep a log. Refill, with the expectation you will take on 140 gallons. Different engines will perform at different ranges, even if the same brand/model. Way too many variations here,- boat hull condition, tune up schedule, throttle habits, drive alignment, transmission condition, quality of fuel, wind, water action, to name a few. One rule of thumb is 1 mile per gallon. You have 188 gallon capacity, assume 350 Crusaders because that was what a lot of the 94's had installed with BW V-drives, an average of 3200 RPM. So, a purely generic answer would be 188 miles. Absent the practice above, that is all I would expect for planning, and I would not exceed 159 miles before I would have access to a fuel source. Good luck. er
