Our New Baby, 2024 252SE 🎉

Definitely envious of you.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the old MR1 engines are better on fuel. Back in 2021 on the Bimini trip the two of us with MR1 engines made it over on just over 1/2 tank and others had to refuel to make it.
 
Actually own a decibel meter and plan to test this! I will update on fuel consumption too, it will be easier when we go for a week at LOTO since we will travel to different lakeside restaurants multiple days and usually can be 20 nautical miles one way at a time, but I will see how general fuel use is on our home lake too.
Sounds like an awesome trip!
