    Similar fuel economy with my motor 1.6km / l (best case senario) trolling cripples me though as my OB is a older triple carb'ed Yamaha SWS 2 stroke,
    However the cost of fuel pales in comparison to recent vet bills

    I am about the same fuel burn with a underpowered 40hp two stroke but at 17-19knt and pushing a much much smaller boat.
    Never buy a package boat with the minimum spec outboard....more power= more economical and more better in almost every case of trailerboats.

    That is an interesting way of looking at it.....is that whole or recovered weight and for yourself or all on board quota?

    The snapper measure was a piss take. However, snapper is about $40 a kg.... so could be related back to fuel burn version food.

    I don't want to do that true calc though......

    If I took fuel/bait/burly on that 40 bucks a kilo(fillet weight?) I would definitely be WAY ahead....well if I kept it that is, but if you added in purchase cost of boat and maintenance things dont look so flash but in theory I would be paying off my snapper boat, my flounder boat would probably have already payed for itself.
    In practice of course things dont work like that as there is only so much fish you can eat. It is illegal to sell fish without holding quota and both boats run at a loss.
    Thats ok I like fishing,I like eating fish and I like giving fish away.
