HAD SOME QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT THE MECHANICAL PART OF THE BOAT SO HERE IS SOME FACTS: POWER IS TWIN DETROIT DIESEL 6/92S THAT ARE 550 HP EACH. BOAT HOLDS 600 GALLONS OF FUEL AND BURNS ABOUT 42 GALLONS AN HOUR AT CRUISING SPEED (2000 RPM) WITH A SPEED OF 18MPH. IF WE RUN AT 1300 RPM WE ARE ABOUT 11MPH AND BURN HALF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL. KEEP IN MIND THAT THE INTERCOSTAL WATERWAY HAS MANY AREAS THAT ARE "NO WAKE" SO YOU MUST GO SLOW NOT TO DAMAGE DOCKS AND OTHER BOATS. I KEEP THE ENGINE ROOM SPOTLESS AND PAINTED WHITE SO I CAN SEE ANY PROBLEMS , LEAKS OR CONCERNS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
