All in all, we are in the range of nearly a 35% reduction in total weight, including the down grade in engine packages which we able to do due to the reduced weight, resulting in less weight even less. Waiting on the result of the Navigation and Fuel system management to really give us a an idea of what we can do. According to the small trip we just took, we have a lot of room to work with.

Twin Volvo Penta's....equivalent to 160Hp each.
On the standard model structure, you would get two 220 Hp Merc's...

Both I/O's....and Salt's... They are an off set of the TAMD 165's, just with a tad less performance on the upper end of the curve and operating on gasoline rather then diesel.

Diesel requires a diesel particulate filter and in some cases a closed crankcase ventilator which are real expensive to maintain.

We are excited about the results of our first venture down to Gulf Shores, and the fuel economy we achieved. Our next test is going about 280 miles round trip to Biloxi, beginning on Tuesday. Our system indicated that we have plenty of room for improvement on economy. Fairly important as fuel on the water is well over $7.00 a gallon.
Isn't that what sails are for?
