I'm trying to work out the relative consumption of differently-engined boats' I'm sure someone ( Byron?) posted the URL for a brilliant website some time ago which had all manner of boats consumption figures.

I can't find this by searching..anyone have a reference?

oh.....oh.....not another spreadsheet?
When you get a boat all you do is fill it up and then keep count of how many miles you do before you fill it up again (gps very handy here)and then divide the miles by the gallons used to get miles per gallon or, in your case prob need to divide the gallons used by the miles to get gallons per mile cos its bound to be a thirsty b*gg*r. Alternatively get nice berth somewhere in SOF and stay tied up all time in which case doesnt matter which boats or which engines cos dont use any fuel........
simple innit! /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Thanks...Love the new piccy.. I bid one eurocent per annum..OK?

No I take it back...if you accept within 10 mins I offer £20 for next 3 weeks.!! Cash if we ever meet or sent in post tonight...

Just thought it would be nice to know what damage is before purchase so that I know size of lie that needs to be perpetuated via TB. Surely 3 engines no directly proportional to 2 in terms of consumption,, even I know that one.

Agree last point ... sell engines replace with mega-icemake fridge... Antifoul once every 3 years... Might as well..

Not sure about the hlb being pretty bit.

Haydn(hlb) is Llewellyn-Bowen's identical twin isn't he?

Someone claimed that he has a pet goat or donkey or summat and that animal looked like master..strange thought.

Re: Excellent...

You seem to have left the caption out.....just a big space as far as I can see.....
And no need to call yourself a t*ss*r just cos I was quick off the mark.
Anyway, previous post seems to confirm tcm's theories re you having a hard time convincing (misleading?) swmbo......
Have PM'd my mail address but would prefer telegraphic transfer....you can send cash via PayPal thru website if more convenient......./forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
