I agree wholeheartedly with CaptJ on these points. I ran a boat with a pair of V-12 1000hp MAN's, and we did valves, injectors, compression...
And you don't know how the boat is wheeled, what the condition of the bottom is, how much of the fuel tanks are actually usable, until you have...
Looking at data for other boats and trying to figure out what yours will do is a huge mistake. You have to do fuel burn measurements on the boat...
