RE: What's your cruising speed.

John,

You're right, it is a rare boat.* Out of 24 made, I only know of 3 with a single.* The advantages are that it is very fuel efficient for the size, and also very quiet and smooth when running 8-9 knots.* It has a wide open engine room and is simple and easy to service.*

We bought it as a bank repo in Vancouver, B.C. in 2009.* It was a lot less expensive than many other boats of her size and construction.* I attribute that to being a repo and also to the fact that fewer people would be looking for a single in this style of boat.*

I started out looking for a sedan style with twins, but by the time we found this boat I wanted a very fuel efficient aft cabin style with a cockpit and a Cummins diesel.* This boat fits our needs well.

Lyle
