No idea on hull design and water interference yet, haven’t looked into that enough.
That is really disappointing. I believe the BF60 engine is closely based on the 1st gen insight engine, and comes with lean burn.

If you do a little research, you'll find out that 8mpg is really good for a boat. Although my boat is lighter than that Insight that you're somehow comparing it to, the drag and single speed make this an apples to freesbees comparison.
