With 600 gallons of fuel you should be able to run most of the day at
cruising speed.

Let's see, 4 hours out, 4 hours back, no reserve..... covering about
400 miles (conditions permitting).... for only about $1500.00.

Yeah, that's about what we spend, per day, boating....... I really
*do* like their boats, but I'm betting there are very few orders in
the 32' and up categories.....

52 gallons an hour at 47 mph... stupid is as stupid does.

Actually not that bad. For a big boat going fast, and near a mile per
gallon. Lots of smaller boats only get 1.5-2 mpg at a lot less speed and
comfort.
