Hehe.
I am so impressed with the forum.
There is always someone who knows what you're wondering about or don't really know yourself. :)

I am not good with engines, how much hp do two 2-3l engines have? Then it takes a lot of power to drive around 60 tons, especially if you have concrete pontoons because they have much more resistance compared to regular pontoons. I am planning to travel 5km on average every day, how much would it consume (diesel or gasoline)?

Note that I am only planning to have outboard motors
5km (about 2.7nm) is hardly a distance to talk about. So then any engine would probably do fine. Even outboards.

But you should probably choose two, one far to port and one on the other side. This is to have some maneuverability to speak of. You can read more about such things on various marine forums. You'll probably get better answers there than I can give...

feels honored that a godfather is impressed by one's experiences!

Thank you very much!

The reason I get so upset with the Swedish Transport Administration and the National Road Administration's waste of taxpayer money is that there are concrete recipes that are so extremely saltwater-resistant (I won't explain all the parameters in a concrete mix that no one understands anyway) that it's perfectly fine to use regular carbon steel reinforcing bars! Sure, the concrete is a few hundred kronor more expensive per m3, but on the entire individual construction, it differs by hundreds of thousands of kronor that are just thrown away because the designer is afraid to take responsibility for all the consequences, except for the construction-economic ones! There, he/she has full backing from Scrooge McDuck's money bin, i.e., all of us who pay taxes!

I admit that I get upset when someone mentions the word "constructor," especially when it comes to concrete in construction! I have full respect if a constructor tells me to deliver a "special concrete mix" because:...
When they explain why, then I understand, and everyone agrees! But I often encounter constructors who do not understand the difference when air entrainment agents are added to the concrete!!! Those of you who know a bit about concrete will surely understand my frustration with having such an unknowledgeable person deciding the types of concrete I should deliver! Not understanding the difference when air entrainment agents are added to the concrete is like a carpenter not being able to tell the difference between a 3" nail and a 3" screw! From that, most people can probably understand why I get upset when it comes to construction engineers on large building sites.

I'm not a professor of concrete, but at least I know the equivalent of what one learns in 1st grade: Dad is nice and mom rows......
