Curiously enough though, there is a woman in our club who has a Donzi - maybe 35 feet - with roughly 900 HP between 2 engines. She cruises at 35 knots and can go past 40. Her fuel burn PER MILE is actually less than mine. Obviously her fuel burn per hour is way more than ours but per mile she can do better than we can.
"Hydraulic steering with emergency tiller" wow I don't know if I would want to dock thatwith using a tiller.
