I had a patient tell me that his Albin 28 cruised at 18 knots with a burn
rate of 13 gph. I found those numbers hard to believe, but amazing if true.
Let us know.

A new 28 True World Marine (planning hull) with a 315 Yanmar on a jack shaft
does 30 mph cruise while burning approx. 6-7 gph.
And 40 mph top end burning 10 - 11 gph

So the ads claim. Interesting boat, really, but unfortunately made by
the Moonies.


Seriously!?

And as I recall the similar size Shamrock with a Cummins ran at about the same
speed and fuel burn.

Come on Capt. you????, not Chucky of course but ...... :-)

Approx 6-7 gph??? is this one of those Chucky help make a sale "approx"
gals?? or a standard US gal???

Best you get some references where Yanmar themselves have publicly made
claims anything like that, they haven't I can assure you they'd get well
sued, probably by Cat or Cummins etc:-). The best you'll find are vague
"testimonials" about this & that, never any proper numbers.

The boating magazines print this type of nonsense all the time,
everyone knows they're inexperienced simpletons, but it's well out of
order for the manufacturers to even allow such false marketing BS to
remain uncorrected.

These engines are a converted Toyota Landcruiser diesel (hey great news
for Landcruiser drivers!!! you too need never buy fuel again:-)) & if
run continuously above about 250HP for more than a very short time will
drop their fuel consumption to nil:-) so you can forget all about the
mystical "top end burning" in gph terms for even 1 straight hour:-).

However even if 11gph were true it raises a much more difficult
question, fore it would mean these engines are only making about 180-190
HP flat out!!!; sad really when they're marketed as 315 hp diesels.

If that engine really is using say 7 USgal/hr it's probably not making
much more than 120HP so you now have a diesel powered 28 ft boat, what
4-5 ton???, "cruising" at 30 mph on 120HP??? & the same boat doing 40
mph on 190HP???? Curiouser & curiouser said Alice.

Be skeptical of the magazines they're the source of much false
information & those that then repeat it unquestioningly are only
demonstrating their own lack of experience.

Needless to say we even have one here who continues to write it even
though we've offered to run the numbers, so it follows it's just
marketing BS from BS'ers.

Oops almost forgot, have a merry christmas or hanukkah if that suits you:-)

Yes...True World Marine is a wholly owned subsidiary of one of Rev. Moon's
operations. I first saw one of these boats some years ago at the Miami
boat show, and was interested...and did a little checking.

Here's some info you might find interesting:


I don't know, Harry, but isn't this just another flavor of the Rev. Jim
Melnyk?
