A view from the UK. Hi, just found your channel. I've got some homework for you guys. You were eulogising so much about the Mercury 600 and the Yamaha hydrogen outboards, so can you answer these questions please?: Mercury: I have 4x600's on my boat. How much a mile will i be paying in fuel/gas per mile at 3000rpm? Yamaha: Is hydrogen more economical than diesel or petrol/gas? I think the answers may surprise you. I really would take off "Complete Review" from the title, because you know that's not true.
Thanks for watching from the UK! I can't answer your question on fuel burn because that depends on several factors associated with your boat. Check your manufacturer to find out. However, congrats on owning those fine machines! As far as hydrogen...yes, hydrogen is more economical but only in terms of power output over gasoline. Hydrogen engines are more efficient on the order of 2.5 times (and cleaner). This is because you have a detonation reaction across the piston head (explosive) as opposed to a slow burning deflagration process. Unfortunatley, the problems with hydrogen are currently numerous. Electrolysis to derive H2 is very expensive, fueling infrastructure doesn't exist, storage issues, hydrogen is highly inflammable and burns at higher temps than gas so the valve train wear with conventional materials is short lived, and on and on. So economically gas is better when you consider the current total economics, but in the future it would be awesome to see hydrogen have its day.
@@sandbarserenity Nope Sandbar, 50% pass. Why?; The Mercury burns 3 gallons of fuel per mile at 3000rpm on a Formula centre consul which has 4. 4x3=12gallons PER MILE, think about that for a few seconds. The Yamaha. Yup, you've got the gist of the problem. It is too expensive to produce hydrogen for commercial use as you will need to build more electricity generating stations as there is not enough of it as the by-product of other industries. Both oil/Gas/Nuclear powered stations are not carbon zero, that's a non starter according to the "Greens". This is Yamaha showing the world they are heavy into research. They know from these research projects that it is a non starter.
Yes 100% agree with you it is a non starter and honestly not even close to being green. The carbon required to produce the hydrogen is greater than the output energy. Nice boat! Bring it to the US and let's go to the Bahamas! 😎
Thank you, I agree.She is an amazing woman! Before we got married years ago, she was a former runway model and also represented Venezuela in many international pageants. Now we spend lots of time on the water making boating videos for our channel like this one to Bimini ruclips.net/video/PWOYni5Qwf8/видео.html ... and she sells private and commercial real estate in Orlando and Miami. Her site is miresellshomes.com
Three engines is standard depending on size and weight of the vessel, think in terms of total power needed to push the weight of the boat. Also, if you are off shore and lose an engine you need to have enough power to at least make it back to port on two engines. So starting with three is a margin of safety. Also three engines, as opposed to two, means each engine will work less to push the boat through the water. So less wear and tear over all.
Boston Whaler, there is no substitute!! Legend!
Indeed so true, like a tank!
That's why we have a 280 vantage
Scout! Speed and beaty
@@sandbarserenitytry scout!
Total facts
Hey Guys… great channel & video! Keep up the great work together!
Thank you so much!! Many more videos to come! Please subscribe for notifications. A boat show tech video will be dropping shortly.
Nice!! Lots of boats great review!
Chris Craft rocks!
Thanks! More to come
@stewb22 yes they are really sweet!
Love me some 600 hp trips!!
Yes they rock
Saw ya the first two times
Chris Craft is Bentley of the seas!!
Cigarette is! Of course Midnight Express is unstoppable!
Nice vid! What day?
Sea Ray 370 is smokin
@@ClassicalMpactwe went on Saturday
@@dcs2021I would agree, really top of the line

3 boat engines-Is it in case the gas runs out and the boat is huge and sleek.
Three engines is standard depending on size and weight of the vessel, think in terms of total power needed to push the weight of the boat. Also, if you are off shore and lose an engine you need to have enough power to at least make it back to port on two engines. So starting with three is a margin of safety.
