The reason that the manufacturers make different boats with different engine arrangement is that peoples needs and budgets are different. In a 13 month period we put 6,000 miles under the keel of Bay Pelican. The cost difference for us at full cruise speed would have been significant. Between 6.3 kts and 7.9 kts we almost double consumption.
