In my experience of offshore fishing, very seldom will a 40 mph cruise speed work out in the blue water, even with my 23'er. I would be happy, my back would be happy, my wallet would be happy and my passengers would be happy if I would average 30 to 35 mph versus trying to run more than that in slop. Use the "search" function and see Bushwacker's posts on his 20' Seafari performance numbers with a 150 etec/bracket.
