Here is a view of a raft of seven boats from our Boston Whaler Great Lakes Cruising Club's 2016 Cruise of the North Channel. Four boats have twin engines. One boat has a main engine and auxiliary. Two boats have single engines.
There are six Evinrude and six Yamaha engines shown. The six Evinrude engines are all E-TEC engines: one 225, two 250, and three 300-HP engines. The six Yamaha engines are a mix of two-stroke and four-stroke power: three 200-HP classic carburetor engines, and one 8-HP auxiliary and two F150 four-stroke engines.
The total engine power in this view is 2,533-HP. When this fleet runs at maximum throttle, it consumes gasoline at a rate of about 250-GPH.
