Actually, the original owner repowered the boat from a Perkins 4-108 to
a 4-236. The boat lived in Newfoundland. Fighting currents was

If so, you are only using about 20 hp out of your 85 available. At
85% of full RPMs it should be burning about 3 gph unless you are way
under propped.

Scoots me along at just under hullspeed. Last surveyor said it was
propped just fine.

You obviously have plenty of reserve power which is nice for those
