Does anybody out there have direct knowledge of what kind of fast cruise speed can be expected of an OA 440? Not WOT speed, but sustained cruise speed. The Powerboat Directory says this:
Twin 250hp GM and Cummins engines cruise the 420 or 440 at 15 knots (about 18 knots top), and 350hp or 375hp Cats cruise at 20 knots and reach a top speed of 23–24 knots.
I’m looking at a 440 to buy. I’d like a boat that can do 15 kits sustained. According to the reference above, this should be no problem. However, the selling broker for the boat I’m looking at, which has 315 hp Cummins engines, said that it’s really more of a 10-12 it boat.
Are there any 420/440 owners out there who can comment on this?
Thanks,
David
