RE: Basic Trawler questions

Eric, I will ask you a very theoretical question...one we can't prove right now.

If we had 2 50 hp Yanmars and one 100hp Yanmar and ran them at 2000RPMs with no load. Do you think the fuel burn would be the same? Or better for either example? And why. Under load?

Also Keith, for it to be a proper comparison the total horsepower would have to be the same.
