Hi Guys

New member here.
Looking to buy either a bayliner 2052 or 212.The problem with the
later is,fuel.What i cant seem to figure out is how much a 5ltr will
use compared to either a 4.3 or 3ltr engines found on the 2052.I keep
hearing that possibly a 4.3 could be as economical as a 3ltr but i
just dont see how,regardless of what speed your doing.Now i do know
that just cruising around, a 3ltr is very economical,but i'm worried
that a 5ltr will literally sink me,well my wallet.
Can anyone shed any light on this matter,any experiences with any of
these engine sizes.I mean,would a 3ltr in a 2052 travelling at say 35-
40 mph use the same as a 5ltr on a 212 travelling at say 20-25 mph.

Any information or figures would be really appreciated guys, and
thanks for reading

Simon
