needs 2,000hp in an 80' displacement hull unless you're going to tow
something. Otherwise it's just a mechanism for converting diesel into bow
wave.

I think the same thing every time I see a pleasure trawler with over
125hp or twin engines. What are they going to do, plow up the bottom?

We see Super Nordic Tugs on the ICW plowing their way to Florida on
their big twin diesels using enormous quantities of diesel as they
plow their way through Charleston. Doesn't look like they're any
faster than the ones burning far less fuel from a 120 Lehman at a
liesurely pace....

How silly. If they're in a hurry, there are jet planes!......
