I think that you might have answered your own question, partially.

Somebody might have to correct me but.....IIRC to acheive the desired realistic value of 12000km @ 10kts you actually have to put those figures in the file changes. The problem arises as SH3's engine uses 8kts as the most efficient and therefore works on the figure of 12000km @ 10kts to work out what your max distance can be @ 8kts. Alas Klar

I don't know how technically correct my explaination is however this is what I came across when editing my boats range before supermods came along.

I will mention this to the GWX dev's to see if anything can be done.
