    2MPG boat for cruising the ICW ??

    Appreciate your "help" but I already knew that oars and sails were more efficient. Thank you FunInDuhSun. I have read elsewhere where this is reasonable. Some folks don't like to go slow and don't appreciate the ICW. Now if I can get a few more knowledgeable replies, it would be appreciated.

    We are considering buying a 34'-40' boat for mainly cruising the ICW. Seems the "cruisers" have mostly stern drives. Some of the "convertibles" ( I guess that's what they are called). have inboards (Silverton etc.) We have owned I/O before but this is a whole new adventure we are considering...
