Your gph to HP conversion lines up with what I have read.
The zone I am looking at with my 20kW genset would be about 1.2 gph - which I get with 1000rpm on my main and make 4.8 kt. This translates to about 20HP. That would be great for a get home - but doesn't seem to line up with people's experience in real life. I'm concerned that in practice I won't get these results.
