If you want to cut your fuel bill, get off the throttle
Runnone *one* 496 HO gas engine in a boat is an acceptable definition of stupidity. If your is heavy enough to need a pair, then you should have gone diesel. Harry, that might be alright for a cruiser or trawler, but the speedboat crowd. I don't think the Donzi, Cigarette, and Baja crowd will go for it. And if you can afford the $225,000 for the boat, then fuel economy is probably the last on your mind.... |

New boats in the 33+ foot range generally will cost that and more..................many (most?) take out loans to afford them. These boats hold 200+ gallons of fuel and are not fuel efficient. A $1 to $2 jump in fuel prices will certainly change their boating habits. ;-) |
