The engine is a Volvo TAMD40-1600 hours- Clean and runs beautifully. Way to much power for this hull but, will cruise nicely a 7.5 to 8knots at 18K (34K max.). It's a little over propped. Has a 4 blade no (I think they came with a 3bld 12X18??) PO says it has a 800 mile range (200 gals). Not use to getting 4 mpg. I'll take it with a grain of salt(seeing is believing). Lol

I'm going to dock it at the Point behind my camp in the marina. Your right about the weather-very seldom am I able to get offshore, without getting my a$$ kicked) until late April or early May. Of course, I'm going a lot faster than 8 knts.
