Fuel consumption yam 60

Hi all I have just downloaded Navionics to my iPad and I am now planning some coastal weekend breaks. What fuel consumption could I expect from a Yam 60 4 stoke pushing a 5m Zodiac with 2 persons at between 20-25kts in average sea conditions?

I would say that will be what I would expect you to get as I recon to average about 0.6 - 0.65 litres per mile from my 60 2 stroke on a 5m 2-3 up so you should get better with the 4 stroke.
