Dumb question but is this the combined usage (2- F350) or each? Looks like 33Mph is the sweet spot.

That has to be combined. I am impressed that those F350's are only burning 13 per side at 4000rpms!

There is still time to have Bill put a single F350 on your new boat Greg. :wink:

BTW - My 225 OX66 burns about the same amount of fuel at 4000 (13 to 14gph).
Technology... it's a great thing!

In "real world" conditions, I'd be very impressed if that boat got a legit 1 MPG at a decent cruise speed.

After full fuel, gear, and 4 big guys, I'd expect to see that best cruise economy to drop a good 20%.

Actually it is. Honda 225 has already been ordered (along with the armstrong bracket with full platform and trailer -- hull has been popped too). The Honda supposively burns around 8 gph at 4000rpms pushing the boat a good 25mph. Those 350's are beasts though. I am impressed with the fuel burn for a 5.3l v8

I think the windows in the berth could be larger. Not only for aesthetic reasons, but for ventilation. Lots of airflow makes a real comfy cabin. I agree with that other gentleman.
