very good reliable information.1.5 is amazing for a 30' multi bedroom cruiser at cruising speed.
Remember - you are bringing your house with you....

Speed, reliability, or cheap. Pick two.
That is very impressive. I can get slightly better, but when I load mine up I can be under 3mpg if it's not flat. That is a great boat you have there love what you have done the 23 rocks.23 Hourston 300 suzukiView attachment 68109
What prop are you using.6.5mpg at cruise, 3800rpm on a yammy 115lb.
What props are you running?I’m thrilled when I can get two and change at cruise...of course having a 680 liter fuel tank doesn’t help with the weight issue

These things happen, it's amazing how much stuff fits in a boat. We ran from Campbell river to Mcneil today. Avg was around 3-3.1 best was 3.4ish around 31-34mph cruise. We used 32 us gal traveled 100 miles. Easy math, 3.125 MPG. I've got her loaded right up. holding just over 340L of fuel and enough goodies (beer, food tackle ice) for 10 days.Thanks now that it’s loaded up my wot went from 5800 ish to 5400.
