I have a 2004 32 open with 8.1 Crusaders and yes she weighs 16000 lb. 3200 to 3300 RPM I am traveling about 27 miles an hour somewhere close to 1 to 1 on the fuel consumption. They have been professionally maintained since new and have plenty of power to get on plane quickly. No problems at all and they have 3300 hours on them.
