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

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