I don’t know what engines are in this houseboat, but even a 60-footer will have twin-engine, 300 HP Cat diesels. So you have to figure this boat is probably pumping twin 450-500 hp motors.
Running biodiesel in a diesel motor (no one makes a bio-diesel specific motor that big) doesn’t result in much of an increase in fuel efficiency. The advantage of biodiesel is that it can be made from what is normally a waste product like kitchen grease.
In other words, you can’t even IDLE those engines and use less than 2 GPH per hour.
