I've always thought that the "efficiency" thing was over done. There are so many other considerations that should be attended to without worrying about how efficient your engine is. Stop & think about what's really important to your safety and enjoyment to your boating pursuits & efficiency is close to the bottom of the list.

Walt,
Maybe the "other considerations" are so great that if the efficiency isn't good no cruising can be done.

I basically resemble that.
