Most of the boaters here at Green Turtle Bay are "power boaters" with the majority of those folks with large cruisers with big diesel engines. The recent cruiser we were on consumed about 10 gallons an hour at 15mph---about 50% faster than the Time and Tide cruises (in theory yet to be realibly verified). So the photo above is the fuel cost of a local power boater with a cruiser going out for a long weekend on the lake..ouch!!! Certainly one of the top 10 reasons to own a sailboat :)
