At full throttle, each engine should burn about 9-12 gallons of fuel per

Those numbers are way low, these are gas engines not diesel. My 6.2L
MPI burns 15 gph at full cruise (3400 RPM).
17 to 20 gph each at full cruising speed, 30+ at WOT.
Lon is cross posting from an RV newsgroup. He is somewhat knowledgeable
about RVs, but obviously less so about boats.
Speaking of RV's, do you need a special license to drive one of those

No, but from what I've seen in my years of driving US and Canadian
highways, all the old geezers who buy one from a salesman who says"
Oh, no, its just like driving a car" should have thier heads read.

Heh - probably.

I have a CDL and drive trucks bigger and heavier than the bus
occasionally so that's not a problem.
