Suppose you are low on fuel and were trying to get back to the dock. What would burn more fuel, keeping the boat on plane but going slow enough to keep the rpms down, or putting along at hull speed?
I have heard that displacement hulls, like trawlers are more efficient than planning hulls like motor yatchs. Would this still apply to a planing hull at hull speed?
