Sorry Wayne.........a great ride, cruising speed and creature comforts can
be found in far too many boats besides the 7 knot Grand Banks. ;-)

Our GB will actually cruise at 10+ if needed, but the increase in fuel
burn is not usually justified.

It's all in your state of mind, what kind of fuel range you need, and
what conditions you operate in. I'll challenge any of your other
choices to meet us 50 miles off shore and run for 72 hours straight
in 6 to 8 foot seas. If you run only in flat water and are happy with
a 200 mile range almost any boat will do.
