I have a Bayliner Victoria 2750 Command Bridge I recently repowered with a 50 hp Perkins 4.108 Diesel. She has a vee hull. I run at hull speed or less. In fact, the boat is not capable of going over 7 knots. In protected waters, it is stable. In swells above 3 feet, it is very rolly at hull speed. I keep and run her in protected waters and she does extremely well and sips fuel.
