Agree #w oil burners due seem to be holding 10 to 15 k over gas. What's your gas burn per hr with that big boat and 440's.
Yes, agree 10k more, got lucky, new interior, new granite, was asking 120k, could not sell, offered 55k cash, next day wrote check, sold
Start both gas, pull out of slip, turn one gas off, other 1,500RPM, start up 20k diesel gen, 4 hours out, 4 hours back, had a great day, 5 bucks

A 20k diesel gen in a gas boat ? never saw a diesel genset that big that was rated safe for use in a gas boat. 20k is one big gen set for a boat that size
5 bucks fuel ? no 50 bucks ? ??? 50 gals ?? do I hear .....

Not being hard on you Mitch we just don't understand your impossible #'s. Sorry if we hurt your feelings but the #'s don't add up. And is that a 20 kw gen-set or a $20k genset ?
