Question for y'all which would you think would be more fuel efficient !!
Single Gtr with stage 1 or dual rig ! 2 motors or 1 !

Being as you have both I bet your gonna tell us. And I'm gonna say 2 motors working less would be better than one motor working twice as hard.

I know the answer to this one.

Did y'all run out of gas this weekend in the dual rig?? lol

No, but I was a lil nervous in my boat following Terry.

Are the boats in deep water or shallow water?

Well a stock GTR on an 1860 running a total of 45 miles one day I burned only 5 ga of gas. (9 MPG)

We ran 50 miles in the dual burnt 6 in each motor!! The single ran a think a few less and burnt 9 !! Dual had more weight in it also !! I fine even with 2 motors and heavy loads it's a lot cheaper than my other boat!!

so, you burnt 2 or 3 gallons more than him...

At that rate, you will have it paid for itself in no time!

At least 7 guys? At least 10 feet of water? Mods? All these questions need to be answered before we can make a valid comparison.

^^ that and the dual rig still burnt more gas than the single. Per motor the dual is more efficient but rig ta rig the dual burnt 9 compared ta the single burnt 6.

Think y'all are still getting it wrong... and assuming Terry ran 50 miles in each rig regardless of weight, water depth, throttle %, total weight difference etc.


Terry said:

His dual rig burned 6 GA in each motor for a total burn of 12 GA @ 50 miles (4.16 MPG)

The modded motor burned 9 GA w/ a single GTR on the back @ 50 miles (5.55 MPG)

No matter what take the dual and split the motors up each motor burned less than the single!! Shit what I'm saying is the duals worked less than the single!! I don't care which is cheaper to run Just comparing mods v's duals !!

No brain surgery here. Duals won't work as hard as a single, trips won't work as hard as duals. The cost of rigging/initial cost/maintenance of duals tends to be cost prohibitive for someone that doesn't work out of their boats. U will be replacing your dual engines before I replace my modded single.

You are on the right track coe, on bigger boats w/ bigger loads the duals will operate under less strain than a single. For this reason they should outlast the single pushing similar loads, mods or not.

Before I even put any body or any thing in my boat a one motor will not get my boat on step!! So when I say my boat is big and heavy I mean it !!
