Being able to get 2 mpg seems pretty optimistic in a big high performance boat, but with the Skater v-bottom with the diesels we were able to get 2 mpg at 84 mph and this is a catamaran which will be more efficient and we will be able to lean the motors down on the fly just like in an airplane to get the best fuel burn.

The whole concept of what you are doing is beyond my comprehension. Trying to cover every possible scenario, that could go wrong out in the middle of the ocean is such an immense task in itself. Building a boat capable of the voyage and just getting yourselves physically and mentally prepared is a huge challenge.
This is awesome, I commend you and all those involved in your vision.
