Would anyone have an idea of fuel burn at hull speed on a 72' sportfish...

I'm not sure the 8v396 was a bad engine but parts are hard to find with a very heavy price tag. Having engines that are not supported very well is a nightmare, I know as I had Cummins 903s. I think there was a member here with the mtus and loved them and then there was Outrageous that threw a rod on seatrial.

The 65 had 8's and Bob's new boat has 12's.

When the 65 was new you could always tell the MTU boats. They were always on the tilt with one engine out.
