From parker they are saying it's really good just wondering if anyone has any hard facts on them

The only 28' Parker in the Performance Bulletins is the CC. Factor in the difference in weight and frontal area to get close. Here it is with a pair of 300s:

That's for a 2801

Yes it is, I said the only 28' listed in the performance bulletins was the CC, and to factor in frontal area and weight to get close to 2820 performance

Sorry about that, I see that now.

I found a 2820 performance bulletin with twin f300s.

Wow, that's surprising. 2801 had a tested weight that was more than the 2820. Virtually same performance.

That's pretty darned good, 32+ mph cruise, ~1.9 MPG on a 9600 lb rig.

Thanks for the info guys. I saw the info on their website but it seemed to good to be true. I want to have enough fuel to be able to make an overnight hudson canyon run out the sandy hook nj

While I have no experience with the new 2820 and 300 4 strokes, I'll say that the fuel economy on my 2510 was virtually spot on compaired to the Performance Bullitin data. Good luck...
