"I currently have a 20 year old VP aq211a running a 290 duo prop,pushing a 21 foot boat weighing 1.95 tons, planing hull, top speed around 30 knots, comfortable speed of 20 knots.
I am thinking about changing the engine to a new VP 4.3GL and a sx single prop drive.
Would I save much gas? or even burn more running the 4.3 at around 20 knots?
I have searched and searched for this answer.
does anybody have any idea of the fuel consumption for both engines?"
