if you are an engineer and designing a very expensive boat for a client, don't you think you should be using real data from the engine supplier from his BSFC numbers from the dyno work instead of some off the cuff meaningless numbers from a web site forum somewhere ? where are you getting your stress and strain numbers , the sunday comics ?

I use all the data possible - as it happens Mercury are very lacking in real hard figures as most people in the trade know....

0.5 * 1350 / 6.5 lb/gal = 104 gal/hr per engine @ wot.
On my dyno runs earlier this year with an 572EFI supercharged setup, we were able to keep the A/F around 12.5-12.7, and get BSCF down to 0.45, until it got up over 4500 rpm. Then it worked its way up to 0.50 at 5900 rpm, but we pushed the A/F down to 12.3 running flat out. This setup kept the EGT's around 1400F.

the object of design is to arrive at an original solution that creates a competetive advantage. that starts with having real data from the engines that are actually going to go in the boat.
the brits would send "engineers" over to work on the race cars. it was a rare occassion when one could justify a conclusion with any genuine calculation or engineering basis. the feeling for the most part was that british airways was giving away engineering degrees on the flights over along with little plastic wing sets to the kids.

Would be interested to know your background Stevesxm as I'm sorry but I don't know you.
Your messages seem to be more points scoring exercises and actually don't really add up.
I mean "the brits would send "engineers" over to work on the race cars. it was a rare occassion when one could justify a conclusion with any genuine calculation or engineering basis. the feeling for the most part was that british airways was giving away engineering degrees on the flights over along with little plastic wing sets to the kids." ........
The internet can be a great place and a way of sharing information but there can be so much negativity...
