Fishing(sport) boats on East coast are developed for a different type of use. Along many parts of the coast the fish are 50 to 100 miles out in what can be a nasty ocean. So the SF want to get there fast and run back fast and the cost for fuel is often disregarded. Thus the planning 30k cruise speed SF has evolved. Different fishing different boats. I have read an article that claimed that if a SF could not cruise at 35k or better it would not be a good sea boat, the idea being that in rough conditions these fast boats can just blast over the waves. I don't know enough about that to say yay or nay.
