I really like the performance of small block v8 twins in a 12000 lbs boat, but I can honestly say that I have never met a person with the twin 4.3s who wasn't happy with them overall. There will be some slight compromise with top end and torque out of the hole when fully loaded, but the v6 quys are always quick to point out the fuel economy and I can't blame them for that. When you are measuring MPG in "Gallon" per mile not "Gallons" per mile, you have to decide how important what's after the decimal point is to you.
I get about 1 - 1.5 miles per gallon depending on conditions and speed etc...
