A semi-displacement boat with smaller motors? How about 16 kts at 6 gph? Plus a short, comfortable STAIRWAY to the flying bridge. If you're not interested in planing speeds, the PDQ (pdqyachts.com) appears to offer a more comfortable and spacious boat for the money - IMHO.

I would prefer semi-displacement with smaller motors. I like the idea of one huge and comfortable cabin with adaptable sleeping quarters in the saloon. Gary
