Geeze...if you wanted to test the boat, why not travel east on the St.
Lawrence, pass thorogh the Canso Causeway and then south west along the
Nova Scotia coast, across the Gulf of Maine and then to it's home port?


100 gallons per hour. You do the math


If I remember the numbers, that's about 5 gallons per mile. Times 1000
miles. Times $5 a gallon....

Dang, that's a year or two's luxury cruising kitty!
