I have a 2002 islander with a single, is that close enough? What is your question?

What kind of performance are you seeing with those engines at cruise, wot, idle?
Thanks

Wot about 44 knots.
cruise at 3600 rpm at 25 knots 1.3 mpg
Interesting. I know Grady performance reports are optimistic, but twin ox66 200's yielded 2.0 at cruise. HPDI's are reported to be 20% more efficient putting you in theory at 2.4. You run heavy?
