>>> I get really fed up with people making the comparison with aircraft as a way of justifying fuel useage on leisure boats >>> Why? As much aircraft "mileage" is for the pleasure travel of the passengers I would have thougth that the same justification exists. Two wrongs most certainly do not make a right, but both wrngs need equal treatment, or is leisure motorboating more wrong than leisure flying?
Fair remark re 200HP to WIndsor, but there again 10HP on the Tideway is a bit too little:-) Might be some value in being able to turn cylinders "off" when a lower power output is required.
It all returns to the issue that fuel taxes are unjustifiably high, and that tax rates for road fuel are inappropriate for amrine purposes.
