Just to make the calculations more complex, if there is no wind, thus motoring = no wind resistance. Thus on a diesel boat you would be using a single engine. With electric I would suspect that this would make little difference to power consumption to achieve a specific speed. However, if you were using something like autoprop then this would also change the result.
