The most advanced electronic device on my boat is probably the television, followed by the depth sounder and VHF. The single 300 hp engine is carbureted.
The Kanawha River is my playground, and I know it well. I am familiar with about a 20 mile section of the Ohio River where it meets the Kanawha. So all my navigating is by paper chart and iPad.
We would like to extend our travels to include Cincinnati this summer, then on to Tennessee next summer.
So my concern is fuel and the consumption thereof. Obviously I need to maximize the fuel efficiency of my boat on such long trips to keep them affordable.
Does anybody have any recommendation for a non-NMEA unit?
