Assuming that it isn't overloaded and clean bottom etc, at 6.5kts you should see about .6 gallons an hour.
The biggest issues that seem to pop up under the owners forum have to do with the outdrive and holding tank odor, at least on the later models.
The issues with the outdrive, in 99% of the cases can be cured with proper routine maint and lubrication. The previous owners of my boat did nothing to it and the outdrive wouldn't stay lockedin reverse etc.. Once brought up to specs, it works perfectly now...
Holding tank smell.. There have been many different fixes for the boats that have odors. Many have resealed the inspection port on the tank, or added a larger air vent hose which has cured their issues.. Others have just switched to compositing toilets which seem to be getting rave reviews.
Older models have had issues with delamination of the centerboards/rudders etc, but I am not up to speed on those pre 2001 models.
