[PCW] Endeavour 48

[Jonah Jones]

We have just taken delivery of one of these boats and are currently  
cruising her North from the Endeavour marina in St Petersburg.
We are presently in Vero beach.
I don't profess to be a huge knowledge as we are new to this.
However...
We did a couple of hops of 60 miles or so  on the outside up the east  
Coast of Florida. waves 2 to 4 on the beam at 10 to 15 knots No bother.
Going out of the inlets with big waves it was just a matter of  
powering into them.  Noticed a lot of smaller craft taking major slams.

Thats certainly not a qualification for being in a big storm in the  
open ocean.  Wouldn't want to try that.

Fuel burn is 3 to 6 gallons and up for trawler speed (6 to 9 knots)
25 gallons and up when you put your foot down (16 to 20 knots)

Bear in mind though, that this is a big spacious boat that can take a  
fair bit of weight on board so its going to burn more than a small  
light skinny cat.
We have 380's for power.

  regards Jonah.
