What model Volvo diesel engines did this boat have? It seems they have
upped the max RPM considerably in the past few years. My older (6 year
old) Volvo TAMD-63P's (370 hp ea.) are only rated at 2800 RPM at WOT.
Also ... any fuel burn rate (at cruise) numbers, estimated or measured for
this setup?
Wanna take a trip out west and test one of these babies for ourselves?

We could take Chuck along and show him how it's done back East. :)

NOTE: Just pulling your leg Chuck.
It would be an interesting exercise. Instead of an advertorial, we might
end up with an article that discusses a boat in terms good, bad, and ugly.

Chuck has a job to do and he does it well.

No complaints from me.
Tom,
I agree with you, Chuck writes the article as part of his job, and posts
it here as a vehicle to discuss boats. As we have seen in this post, it
gives the group an opportunity to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly
about the boat.
