This boat would seem to be a very economical way to cover long distances slowly and I would think the engines would last just about forever. 7 kts at 1650 rpm with newer John Deere 85 HP naturals getting a little over 3 mpg. What would it be like living with this hull without the option to go much faster? Is anyone familiar with this boat?
