Yes Trawler burns less but you get distances half as slow vs the Convertible. He states the trawler will burn close to same fuel similar distance, I don't agree with that.
I know the range of the trawler is much greater holding 1000 gallons of fuel, the convertible holds 700 gallons. Is it just a time difference from port to port ?
Thanks

"48 ft Convertible with Twin 800hp Diesels that cruise 25 knots and burn 35-40 GPH" Sounds pretty optimistic to me.
