Good point. We have been buring 6.5 gal an hour at an average speed of 8.5 Knots. Yesterday with lots of wind and current at 9.3 knots we burned an average of 8.8 GPH. When I return, I plan to post our fuel burn numbers for the Twin Lehman SP225 Engines.* To your point a Trawler that is 45 feet will have different numbers then a 38 with different engines. However, it is an interesting data point.
