    My 46' trawler-that-used-to-be-a-sailboat (so you have an idea of the hull
    form), displaces (loaded) about 33,000 lbs, with a single John Deere 80
    cruises 7.5 kts at 1.5 gph (1800 rpm), or 7 kts at about 1.2 gph. This year
    we're cruising at 6.5 kts (1500 rpm) and hoping for 1.0 gph. It's a loooong
    way from Florida to Canada, with fuel around $4.

    Schweet! Now load that thing with french fry oil and REALLY go green!! We
    have a guy on our dock that uses it in a pair of DDs - smells like a Fry
    Daddy. JeemboNC
