Looking at a possible summer in the med next year, 2024, so starting to do some research on the issue. No specific plans yet but with one of the...
What size boat? The key number is hull speed which is the square root of the waterline in feet x 1.3. Exceed that by 1 knot and your fuel burn...
Slow down to 10.5 to 11 kts and fuel burn will drop to 10/12 GPH. Plus 1 1/2 for the gen
Not familiar with this specific model but it depends on where you re going to be using it. If almost always inland or protected waters, you...
