25 years ago my buddies dad would convert mainly chevys to run on propane. He claimed it was the best stuff goin' atomized better than gasoline, higher octane, cleaner burning, etc. Many fork trucks run on it every day.
I've read it runs better with an additive. No road tax!
His stuff was all dual fuel. I've often considered it myself as I like projects such as this...Natural gas can be liquified and carried in a high pressure cylinder wtih the right compressor you can refuel at home.

Dude, just sell the tanks you've been boosting and forget it.

I like this idea:idea:
I think the lower power content could be made up by the increased compression and timing you are able to run detonation-free, at least as compared to 91 octane premium. Weight of the storage system on the other hand is a separate issue and could be the killer in a small performance boat.
Last I heard (recently), octane comparison was 108. I had always heard 104 years ago.
Buddy of mine runs it in a 17' sanger.. Runs mid/high 80's on a small block.
