Default Re: Dream Boat

Just for comparison...my '78 23 Sceptre has a 350 Chevy with a Volvo 290 outdrive...went offshore yesterday out 60 miles, trolled for 5 hours, chunked for a while then ran back in...used 60 gal. for approx. 2 mpg. With proper maintenence I feel a single is fine and burns much less than any twin engine setup will. With the higher cost of diesel engines and the fuel they run on I would not think it would be worth the extra cost for diesel power. Just my opinion...
