Actually the size of the boat is only a small part of the rate you burn fuel. My prior boat was 20' with 150 HP. and my current boat is a 25' with a 280 HP but its better on gas. The older outboard motors are great but they suck gas like crazy and my new boat has an inboard/outboard and its great on gas compared to the older outboards. Now the newer outboards are better on gas because of technology but they are big $ to have any work done on them.
