But wouldn't a boat of the size I mentioned be powered with a decent

Seems like it would be, but I haven't really looked into it.
You have a _lot_ of homework ahead of you.
Getting the right prop is a major deal. Major controversy over fixed
2 blade fixed or 3 blade fixed because the 3 blade fixed hurts sailing
performance about 1/2 kt but the 3 blade gives better motoring
performance. There is a company that makes an oversize plastic
composite prop called PerfectPitch that makes up for this but they are
sorta unknown.
Then, there are the folding props..................

Larry is a jerk. In any case, I ask again... wouldn't a newer boat in
the
size I mentioned from a reputable US manufacturer be powered properly?

I'm not a jerk. You are throwing around all of this information and
misinformation and you even have a budget attached to it. You are also
asking questions that are rather basic.

First it was a $2K Hobie and now it's a $300K sailing cruiser.

Yes, you have a lot of homework to do. That is a very fair statement.

Forgive de-fumer, she hasn't had it in awhile.

This from the pea brain who can't hold a job and who can't get into the US
for love or money.
