I dont think these are high-performance Diesels, either.

They just about have to be high performance just to push a 41 ft boat
at more than 20 kts. The problem is with the turbo chargers. They
carbon up when used at low speed which causes very expensive
maintenance issues.

It would be more accurate to call it a "trawler style" boat, meaning
that it looks something like a trawler. Magazines tend to regurgitate
the marketing hype distributed by the boat builders because that's
where the advertising revenues are.

8.8 kt / 7.9 gph is approximately 1.1 gal/nautical mile for a maximum

It must be that ****ty, American diesel fuel. My Truck never carbons
up, and it runs slow for hours at a time...

I get 620 miles but that's slow as hell - over 63 hours.- Hide quoted text -

Wayne also failed 7th grade math, or had a brain pffft. 1.1 nautical mile
per gallon. Or about 556 nautical miles. Whats that about 640 standard
miles? Actually is Slammer that has no math ability.

You know what? I didnt know the formula for the calculation. I didnt
care, anyway. The thread progression clearly shows the turds floating
up to the surface of it, to pollute it. Another on-topic boating post
ruined by the Dwarf Army.
At least I can build a proper sentence.Take a look at your last one.
Too much California Smoke, Corporal of the Dwarf Army?
