Nick Bailey is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd have to say with my recent experience running single engine that the skymaster will not hold altitude at 65% power and full gross, even at SL. Lighter, maybe but not full gross. From a safety standpoint, I agree with Kevin that the single engine operation offers too many potential problems. A recent experiment with extreme leaning ( Gami jectors) I was able to get about 130 knots with each engine using just over 7.5 GPH. Don't know if that is better than single engine, but will let the rocket scientists do the math.
