We have a 36 convertible with 8.1 Crusaders. WOT is in the mid 30's, cruise is 22-24 at 3200. It can easily meet the 1.2 MPG and the torque will throw you out the back of the boat if you slam the throttles. We are talking 8.1 multiport fuel injection, not 454's or carburators. Big difference. Easy starts, smooth running, no smell, quite. Capt. George
