I agree with Sunchaser and suggest you run at 80% for about 10 minutes and watch temp, listen to engine and feel for bad vibes. Further, I'd do an analysis of the engine and tranny oils.

As a Nordic Tug owner, I doubt that you will see 16-17 knots. These boats were made to cruise slow and we find a sweet spot at about 7.5k on ours. Pushing to 10+ is possible but throws a huge wake and isn't fun inside. DOn't be mislead by the stated max speed; it is designed to be a slow boat.

It is beautifully equiped and kept. Have fun!
