18 mph cruising.....gallon a mile. 20 gallons x $3/gallon equals $60/hr.

Right?

Twin gas. . .

You will spend $400+ an hour to run it.

A golf-pal owns Oregon Yacht Sales. The owner of this boat is a
widow....husband recently died of a heart attack. He thinks she would
take
65k, the predicted it would take another 5k to accessorize it properly.
Fresh water covered moorage is $200/mo. We would declare it as a 2nd
home
and deduct as much as possible.

In terms of size, it seems ideal for us. We would use it on the
Columbia
River and ship it to Puget Sound for the summer. Our eventual goal is
to
buy a bigger one and live in it, when the kids are gone.

Curious what you folks think?

Twin 5.7s will burn 20 to 26 gph depending on how fast you run them.
Figure an average of $1k per year per engine for maintenance, some
years more, some less.
