Default Anyone Considered

1. That engine manufacters have not done nearly enough to lower fuel consumption .
2. Magazine tests tend to always go for the larger engine option-and seem to be concerned about speed not fuel use .
3. Petrol Boats pay full price- and many O/B engines are made to use less fuel for more power and less emisiions too.
4.I Read one article where the person was complaining about the cost maybe oubling yet he used only 25 litres of diesel a season! Hardly a huge extra cost.
5. An advantage- perhpas w shall not have boats flying around the Solent making huge waves and burning huge amounts per hour. Slow down, take the world around you
in and enjoy the surrounding scenery for once-that is my advice for diesel powered boat owners.
3.
