In other words, with the water ballast and six passengers, in medium
chop, the boat makes about 3 miles per hour under power?


That what their web sites say. You have to subtract 1 mph for every 100 pounds
carried. I might be willing to give it 4 knots. BTW, if you look on the mac
boards (and ignore the evangelists) you'll find people saying the boat can be
very wet and slow powering into a Chesapeake Bay chop.

There is no doubt this boat has some advantages its tailoring and flat water
powering. It is not an "offshore" boat.
