Nice looking boats but fuel tankage and range are decidely on the
short side for a boat of that type. ?At 20 kt cruise it will burn
about 12 gph and require a fill up every 6 or 7 hours. ?That's
marginal for a day boat let alone a cruiser.

I would categorize these boats more as "day boats", based on their
open design and a paucity of amenities.
