We had express cruisers for 25 years and cruised at 25-30 kts. Friends we cruised with had 45 plus foot boat that cruised a 8-9 kts so for 5 years we just slowed down and cruised with them. We got used to the slower speed and came to love it as the trip is what became important, the destination, not so much. For the last 10 years we've had a 7-8 kt boat and would not go back. We do have the ability to do 12 kts if necessary to outrun weather but that is rare.
