Speed and fuel consumption.

Blue Swell · Senior Member

Hello Charlie,

Single engine 175hp probably no more than 12-13knots max

Twin 130hp should give in the region of 15 knots max.

As for fuel consumption not alot between them, would of thought 4-5 galls per hour cruising.

Pref between single or twin set up is personally your choice, just remember servicing doubles.

My Lochin is twin engined each of 200hp, similar to the one that Lochin have for sale. I use mainly single handed and having owned 6 years I can take around the marina on engines only!

Early Lochins are still great boats, admired by many and still providing great service and enjoyment to there owners!

Regards Geoff

Hi Charlie

I have an older Lochin with a single 280 Ford Sabre. Best I have had was 14.5 knots clean bottom and light load. The manufacturers quoted fuel consumption is 14 gallons per hour at full chat but I don't run at that sort of speed, too expensive, loud and unsociable. We trundle about at 7.5Kn at 1400 rpm or 9Kn at 1600 and get about 2.5 to 3 gallons per hour which is much kinder on the wallet.

Hope this helps

Thanks Geoff and Martin for your helpful replies,

The good news is that the fuel consumption probably won't be as heavy as I was expecting. I'm going to have to accept slightly lower cruising speed than I was hoping for but even 9-10 knots will seem like a dream after 5 years of 6 knots maximum and the limitations that creates for cruising range. Plymouth to Dartmouth would take me the best part of 8 hours, which is a long time to be helming single handed. I'm a pretty good (self-taught) diesel mechanic and can handle most of the servicing myself so I might still go for the twin engine version.

I helped deliver a brand-new Princess 65 from Plymouth to Brighton back in the 80's. We went up doing 30+ knots and burned 3 tonnes of diesel to cover 200 miles. She was equiped with twin 800HP Caterpillar diesel engines. The tanks were near empty when we got there so that was effectively the daily cruising range of that vessel. 3 gallons per mile would break my heart and my bank account but what a buzz that was. I do love speed.

cheers

charlie
