Nice looking boat. Most 34' trawlers have about a 12' beam. This is only about 8 1/2' beam. That would account for the almost 7 MPG theoretical fuel consumption. Keep in mind that when you pay slip fees, you pay by the linear foot. Most people would want more interior space and that would be in the beam. Just something to consider if you are planning any really long trips.
Anyway, I wish your friend good fortune in his new company.
