You think you can keep that speed with 1-2 foot waves and still enjoy
it? Seems to me it will be kinda noisy below deck...
I also wonder what the fuel rate will be at that speed, about 2-3
gallon an hour? What amount of fuel you can take with you on a Mac, I
don't see this listed on their website?

BTW, I'm not planning to buy one, but it seems this is the key element
of Jim's decision.

Cheers!
