I forgot to mention ( and you obviously havent read the write-up, my

Go read the write-up.


8.8 kt / 7.9 gph is approximately 1.1 gal/nautical mile for a maximum
range of about 550 NM. * Unfortunately there are major reliability
issues with high performance diesels run at slow speed for extended
periods of time.
