I reread your post and see your point that weight (assumably along w strength and otherwise good design) can allow a boat to go across the water far enough and at any time to make it possible to have great range. And at certain speeds a bulbous bow can reduce fuel burn and one can't have one without added weight. So I do stand corrected. But if you added weight to the boat without adding very carefully chosen shape changes mpg would decrease.

I was reading that a bulbous bow does not help with boats under a certain length.
I wonder why??
