I'm not the one who will be drawn into a conversation about going slow, but IF you wanna talk going faster, then I'm your guy.

Cruising 64 mph in triple diesel Fountain 48', which can run from Key West to Cancun burning 1 gallon per mile at over 50 mph. Why would you want to dawdle? Are we talking money or time? Many think it's easier to make more money in the time wasted going slow-so you can easily pay for the fuel. That's why triple and quadruple outboard powered boats are selling like crazy, and fuel efficient boats quit selling back in the 80's. Hmmm.
