I understand the why, it's just that I suspect that the first to consolidate, if that's the correct term here, will be the small boat market rather than the large boat market. Make that contract rather than consolidate. Kind of makes me glad I have an ETEC. |

The engine on our "new to us" 27 footer is relatively hi tech with electronic multiport fuel injection, etc. We seem to be averaging somewhere around 2.2 to 2.3 NMPG which seems decent enough to me for a 6,000 lb boat cruising at 26 to 27 kts. |

Not really if only because it not relevant to me - I think. On average, I use 3.6 gallons per hour of run time. That includes cruise, trolling as I very seldom run WOT all the time. The most I've ever used with the ETEC which was on a beat the weather run - 5.2 gallons per hour and I made the run from Race Rock to Westerly WOT @ 50 mph. Never really figured miles per gallon. |
