Wide open it guzzles 14.7 gph x $4.5/gallon at the marina = $66/hour

I wouldn't run it wide open, either...(c;


Saw another twin-engined high-speed center console for sale at the
marina Sunday...500 horsepower. Crikey.


They are dime a dozen here in Florida, almost standard equipment for
serious open boat fishing. There are quite a few triples running
around also, and even a few quads. One of the local quads is run by
US Customs and Border Patrol - our tax payer dollars at work. :-)

Why is the counter-rotating prop on the outside rather than the middle?
For docking? I don't see the advantage.
