Gram, We have Volvo Penta D6 310's which give us a top speed of 26 knts at best and we cruise normally at 15-20 knts depending on conditions of course. We have certainly been out in some quite uncomfortable weather over the last 18 months and the boat has always felt safe, solid and able to cope - my wife less so! http://www.ladykristiana.com Hope this helps - can thoroughly recommend both the boat and the UK agents (MICATS). Send me a mail if you want any further info. etc. kind regards Ian Ian Fisher Operations Director Phone:+44(0)1934 836960 Fax:+44(0)1934 643267 QED Advanced Systems Limited 18/19 Bridgwater Court, Oldmixon Crescent, Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, BS24 9AY, UK www.qedas.com QED News - Meeting Monitor (M2) system launch We are pleased to announce the launch of the QED Meeting Monitor (M2) system. This is an application that leverages the standard Lotus Notes Resource Reservation system and enables real-time information for each meeting room to be displayed on a colour coded LCD display outside each room. This provides improved visibility of meeting room availability, better usage of room resources and allows free rooms to be instantly utilised for impromptu meetings. With a low cost hardware requirement and use of standard network cabling this is a simple installation that will quickly pay for itself.

Interesting Ian. What kind of fuel consumption do you get with the D6 310's, and how noisy, smelly, are they? tx. gram.
