Looking for a new boat and the same boat is available either with two engines (4.3 GXi) or 1 engine 5.7Gxi. Everything else is exactly the same.
So what do you think - a 29 ft boat that weighs 8500 lbs - what would be the fuel consumption difference between those two in cruise, who would be the winner here?
Is it reasonable to expect that the one with two engines will be faster to plane and plane speed will be lower than on single engine?
Is it true that while the single engine will be doing say 4000 rpm the two smaller engines would be doing maybe 3500 at same speed?
