Ah say, Ah say, Ah say Foghorn,
She'll go a little north of 40 and get at least 1.8 MPG at that speed. Ease it back to 4,150 "just up on the pipes" and it will probably get at least 2.2 MPG. At 1,500 it will make 8 knots and get 7 miles to the gallon. A Grady is not a Seacraft, however C. Raymond Hunt's deep V Bertram and Alim Step-lift hulls raced Carl Moesly's Seacraft VDH hulls for most of the 60's. There are a lot worse choices than a Grady, but be sure to get a thick seat cushion.
