RE: Fuel Consumption..3406 Cat

38 ft trawler, semi displacement, 30,000 lb hull. 8 knots. Thanks for your imput.

8K is too high a cruising speed for any economy in a 38 ft boat , 6K would be far better.

Yes you will be able to go 8K , but the fuel burn may well be half or 1/3 at the slower speed.
