More than fast enough for a 34-foot cruiser in the Pacific NW. And
don't forget, boats sell for more $$$ in the Pacific NW than almost
anywhere else in the county.


A top end speed of 20 knots is slow for a cruiser. I wonder it has to be at
WOT to remain on plane.


Where do you come up with these assumptions?

A decent hull in that length will get on a plane at 12 to 14 kts. I
expect that'd be in the 60 to 70% of WOT.
