Default 1 or 2 engines ... this is the question !

Hi Chad,

My question to you is : "How much more fuel does the dual 350 engines
cost compared to your single 350 in Regal for the same speed and ride
?" I know that the baby is more weight, but just to help me figure out.

Thanks,

Guy

I had a regal 242 cruser with a 350 and went to a wellcraft 3000
martinique with twin 350 this year and I can control this one better it
close quarters than the smaller boat ever could and having 2 motors is so
cool


The Martinique is built like a tank., or at least they were in the mid to
late 1990's. We would have purchased their 32 foot model when we were
looking for boats that size if not for the small aft cabin on the boat.

And yes, having twin outdrives is very nice. The best is twin screws
though. but you have to give up the aft cabin. ;-)
