Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Nice! You have your boat set up well for your use. For a lot of people, myself included, a cruise speed of 20 knots is pretty slow, but obviously there are economical benefits to going slow.
Yeah, I can't stomach looking at the fuel being gobbled up when I open it up. Those slower turning SeaPros like about 3300 rpm cruise and I don't mind if it takes a little longer to get there. That being said, I still need to do a new speed graph workup to see where my best gallons per mile is but I suspect it is in the ballpark of where I am at now.

I love it the rare times when I'm not in a hurry, kids are sleeping, and I can go hull speed at 6mpg. That being said, I'm pretty happy that my new cruise is 22-23kn at over 3mpg and really happy when the conditions are perfect and I can get to the high 20's.

When spending 150k on a boat, like that Lifetimer that needs work, it would sure be nice to have the range and speed to do everything.
