Nathan We have a 1995 37 Mainship Aft Cabin and are very pleased with the accommodations and performance. We have twin Yanmar diesels cruise at 14-15 kts and about 14-15 gph. At hull speed (7-8kts) fuel consumption drops considerably (estimate 3-4 gph, but we have not cruised long enough at that speed to get an accurate fuel consumption calculation). We start the loop May 24, with our radar arch we are at 17' above water line so will face some height restrictions, we think it will be fine but soon will find out.

Frank, May 24? That's tomorrow. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night, for the past week!
