I mentioned that the boats another member was considering had lots of HP and speed capability when compared to traditional trawlers. It was then bandied about that some among us preferred higher speeds, damn the cost. So in order to not completely derail that thread, here's a suggestion to those who want speed. I grew up in S. La. and was exposed to different boats. People have converted tugs, trawlers,research, ice breakers etc. to personal pleasure boats, so why not oilfield crewboats? I have spent many hours on these rangingin size from 28'ers to over 100' versions with quad 12-71s. They are built like tanks, ride like Lincolns, have huge amounts of interior room, and can usually hustle along at 20+ kts! The following link has a few in the 4x' range just to keep it within reason. But the can be had smaller and much larger.
