Well, if you doubled... or quadrupled... that, would it be a major

No, but $160 won't take you far in even a 35' CWB with a single Ford

It will if the bottoms's clean, engine in good shape, and you know how to
drive.


... We didn't cruise much this past year--no time and ****ty
weather--but still logged around 400 miles, mostly under power. The CWB
would have racked up a $250 diesel bill with the same distance at 8 kts.


Well, that's part of the problem. Going 8 knots is wasteful. At 7 knots
the fuel burn is about half, at 6 1/2 it's less than a quarter.



Ella can go at 8 knots with nothing more than a fair breeze.
