My 40 Albin/120 Lehman over 20, 000 mile/3500 hrs and a set of new injectors has faithfully averaged 3.3 NMPG, 2.0 GPH, at 1650-1700rpm (close to performance charts) and 6.3 knots. Actual on the water data, not "perfect condition" or "singular run" data.

Though the years after conferring with trusted Lehman owners, seeing Floscan data, factory performance charts, my own experience and having more than a few hours underway..... I disbelieve a huge number of poster's data.....but always possible.

Not really calling them liars as much as disbelieving their calculations that could be different for reasons such as propping, real vessel weight/trim, bottom smoothness, conditions, measurement accuracy, etc...etc....

The comment on the tanks is also possible....when I cut my ranks out, even though very rusty on the tops, they were very solid overal couldn't guarantee the welds were perfect though.
