For starters, how big a boat are you pushing??

Doesn't matter (within error bars).

Just running at 3/4 throttle, regardless of hull shape or size, Mercury

Actually, it does matter.

What's the big secret here, Sven?

While it is true that a harder-to-push boat would probably result in
lower rpm and thus lower gph fuel consumption at a fixed throttle
setting, that is within the error bars.

Just running at 3/4 throttle, regardless of hull shape or size, Mercury
6 hp, 4-stroke.
