[Public-List] hull speed

[Jeffrey]

Gordon,

With respect, I don't think it is possible to power an A30 hull to 7-8
knots. Hull Speed is somewhere around 6.2 knots. My 20hp can power the boat
to just over 6 knots at max rpm, but the noise and fuel consumption is
wicked. I've hit 7 knots and more for very brief periods of time under sail
when hit with a gust, but never under power. These speeds clocked with GPS.
