25 knots top end with with a

Sweet fishing boat for offshore use.

I love the lines of the commercial Canadian boats.

I hope it has huge cockpit scuppers although I don't see any in the
picture.

I would consider it more of a near shore fishing boat, as would the
lobstermen who would typically use that type of design.

Wouldn't the cockpit scuppers be out the transom? I can't see the transom
in that picture.

Why is that?

If they are anywhere, they must be in the transom, otherwise there are
just small plumbing drains which would be totally inadequate for a
huge cockpit like that.

Not enough protection from down flooding if you take a substantial
wave into the cockpit. That's OK in good weather and/or
semi-protected water, but a significant risk offshore in bad weather.
