I agree there. At 32ft, 9 knots is some way above her hull speed. So although she could do that, fuel consumption would probably be somewhere in the vicinity of double what it is at 7kn, as NBS above points out.
Lovely boat though. You will have a great time with her. As someone who also came from sail to power, while I loved sailing, as one gets older and less subtle, and the family get larger, and even grandchildren come along - power is good - very good.
