I came up with this (52 GPH)

Triples! That would definitely do it.

Considering it is 11,000+ lbs as tested, 36 ft long, doing 50+, not
too bad actually for gas engines, just a little tough on the gas
budget. I have neighbors with I/O speed boats in that size range that
burn about the same.


I was looking at a Cape Horn and the guy is selling the boat, but
keeping his engines. I was seriously considering that Yamaha 350 as I
wouldn't have to use duals - I seriously want to uncomplicate my boat
life.

I'm not so sure I'm going to do that. Yamaha is making some claims
that I'm not convinced are - er...Kosher. :)
