I' m interested in buying an 1982 18' Outrage with twin 1999 75 Hp Mercury.
What would be the consumption at cruising velocity (18 Knot) and do you think is possible to trolling at low velocity?

I have a single 1994 Mercury 75hp two-stroke which burns about 1 gallon per hour on the average day. That is a combination of cruising, trolling and running. My average day is about 9 hours and I will burn about 9 gals in fuel. This is on a 73 16 foot hull.
