The cheapest way to boat is stay at the dock, many do. Or as suggested throttle back. If you really want to be a guy to save a non renewable ( with ever more being found for the rest of us) resource don't buy a boat. Fortunately the boating lifestyle me and my great grandchildren will enjoy is fueled by a world awash in oil. If you search carefully you can find a 40DF with a single. For fishing around Coos Bay the various Tollycraft diesels and gassers are great choices plus provide you the 15 + knot opportunity to get out of the weather and hit the bar crossings at the right time.

If you had the time, money and desire what blue water PROVEN capable vessel, less than 65' would you buy? Assuming too you wanted an engine for get home power. I'll help you look for one at the upcoming Seattle boat show.
