Wide open it guzzles 14.7 gph x $4.5/gallon at the marina = $66/hour

I wouldn't run it wide open, either...(c;


Saw another twin-engined high-speed center console for sale at the
marina Sunday...500 horsepower. Crikey.

They are dime a dozen here in Florida, almost standard equipment for
serious open boat fishing. There are quite a few triples running
around also, and even a few quads. One of the local quads is run by
US Customs and Border Patrol - our tax payer dollars at work. :-)

Yeah, I have seen a couple of "trips" around here, too. Haven't seen a
"quad" yet, though. A goodly number of multi-engined center consoles
around here are up for sale, more at one time than I have seen before.
I'm sure it is all fuel-cost related.
