Efficient and a decent cruise speed without being too hard on the equipment, smart, I like it.

I remember a while back powerboat mag tested a 26? sportboat with a hopped up duramax diesel that was getting 6+mph at cruise speeds. Think it was an Eliminator but dont remember specifics .

My boat I have never even done the math, it would probably depress me,..

The gas is the cheap part. I has a set of 600's that pegged the monitors at WOT and they stopped at 65/gal/hr each :)

It is indeed.

For reference what is the tab on those engines fully marinized like you have them in the boat?

for that price you could get some yanmar diesels and probably have similar performance and even better mpg.
