I have one of last Cape Dory 28's built with the Volvo 200hp diesel. She runs comfortably at 8 knots at 2500 RPM burning 2 GPH. She cruises at 10 - 11 knots at 3250 RPM burning about 7 GPH. WOT is 3850 RPM. I have her loaded for extended cruising. The Westerbeke should provide 7 - 8 knots max. She is extremely seaworthy. If you'd like additional information on the boat, please feel free to PM me.
