Who and the hell would worry about how much
fuel you would use when it comes to boating, if
fuel is a problem do not buy a boat .
Twins are the way to go, if you have 496 s do not
build them, they ll last for ever just service them well.
I have 740 hrs and no problems.

In my personal experience, I burned far more gas in a single than I do with my twin. I was always pushing the single engine harder to acheive speed. Where as I get that speed at lower RPM's with the twins.
It is possible if you were to strickly run at cruize, that the single may be better on fuel. The thing is you will burn much more at take off and at higher speeds because you are working that engine harder. Let's face it, I don't know many people that can stay just at cruize. Most start pushing that throttle forward once the speed changes you....

Or that and the fact that the singel engine 29 is about 5.600 lbs and the dubble 6.800 lbs.

I know the mpg will vanish as soon as I start playing around and thats fine with me. The thing is that there is an island I probably will go to lots of times and it is about 170 miles away from shore and that is the only thing thats makes me think about the mpg at cruise.

Certainly you are going to burn fuel faster with the twins, but you are going to go faster as well. I know i go farther on the same fuel with my twin engines than I did with my single.
