Personally I love diesel power but not on small boats. I've seen them on 23' boats and other than fuel economy they just are not very impressive.
"cruise is 24kts and on a good day 28-30" ?

people often make a few mistakes - first one: over estimate their abilities

second: over estimate the speed of their ship


I believe you've made claims concerning speed before - I would have to see this cruise speed claim
