On my Ranger, with my sexy high tech ETEC engine, at 9 knots, I burn
just under 2 gph.

Curious huh?
Yes. Touchdown for diesel power!

Similar amount of fuel used, moving a much heavier boat with much less
horsepower.

Case closed.
Well, not really.

I can't see your GB going 50 mph on the way to the fishing grounds.

Case reopened. :)


Now wait a cottin' pickin' minute. Your're getting as slippery as Harry.

Nobody talked about maximum speed.

We were comparing fuel burn rates *at* 8-9 kts. and the efficiency of
doing so.
Your Etec, with what? 200hp? is moving a *much* lighter boat at 9 kts,
burning roughly the same amount of fuel as a 120 hp diesel pushing a 30,000
lb boat at 8 kts.

Plus .... (hehehe) let me know when your Etec will need a rebuild. At
6000 hrs, the little Leyman diesel in the GB is about halfway through it's
service life before rebuild according to American Diesel.

I want to see SWS or Harry spend the night in their boat.


Been there - done that.

24 hour striper tournament in 2001.

Took a nap on the front deck. :)


Yes, but was it in January in the snow?
