I saw these 2 trawlers in yachtworld, but I don't understand why their advertised fuel consumption is so different:
42' Bristol, New Bern, NC
displacement 36000 lb
engine = 120 hp Lehman (twin)
1.5 gph per engine (3 gph for both engines)
(no rpm info given)
41' Cheer Men, Newburyport, MA
displacement = 24000 (this is estimate from sister ship)
engine = 120 hp Lehman (twin)
5 gph (I assume this is for both engines)
1900 rpm
Are these 2 boats cruising at radically different speeds, or is there something else I'm missing?
