C-28 Fuel Performance

[HookedUp]

Although I've had boats for many years, they were all planing boats. I couldn't find the performance sheets for the C-28 and I was wondering if any are available, or if not could you provide some rough estimates?

There are some references to performance in this sea trial article from Norwesting Magazine / June 2011

Cheers,

Thanks much and that is about what I thought. I also found this site showing fuel use, but it doesn't translate fuel use to hull speed.

Stuart, thank you very much. Now I have a much better idea of how the boat would fit my interests.

Stuart,
Are your numbers for the Volvo D4 260? I noticed the Northwest article is for the Yanmar.
I would like to compare my numbers.
Thanks for the info.

Jerron,
Yes its the D4-260 also running a 19x 21 prop as the original prop 19 x 23 could never reach red line here on the east coast.
