Look at it this way. How much fuel do you use now? Take that number and reduce it by 25%. That is about how much you will save each trip. Now figure how many trips you make a year and figure your annual fuel savings. Once you do this many times you will find that you won't save anywhere near as much as you think unless you are the twice a month boater. Then also figure in roughly a $1K every year or two for repairs if you don't use the FICHT often, and you find that you may actually spend more by the time your done. A FICHT engine NEEDS to be started every two weeks and run for about 10 minutes unless it is properly set-up to be stored, otherwise the injectors will give you problems and take out a cylinder or two with em.
