Thanks for pointing that out as I hadn't paid attention to it. It really does bring home just how great this boat looks!

I've never ran a 65LRC but have to wonder how it would compare to a 70CY which could be had for about half the price. Two different animals, but that's the way I personally would be looking at it. I'll have to admit that I've been giving serious consideration to going the liveaboard route. The boy is going to fly the coop soon, I have those government checks coming in (retirement) with a pension kicking in, so it might just be time to make the move.

With 6-71 Nats you're going to cruise at hull speed, or around 10 knots, with ease. I think these burn around 5 each at an easy cruise RPM. So, 1 per mile, give or take.

I actually thought it might get a bit better than 1MPG with that power at hull speed.

It might be. I cruise 11.2 knots at 1525 RPM on 12v71TI's. I back down to 1450 RPM, still manage 10.8, but cut my fuel burn from 16 to 12. So every boat is different, and every barnacle has a different impact, but more or less you'll get a range around 1nm/g with genny, maybe slightly better in the right conditions.
