I have the feeling I will be going out alone alot so I need to keep things manageable. 22-24' with twins would be at the limit for me singlehanded. Not to mention I am hoping if I can gethe weight ratio right that twin 200 Mercs will be easy on fuel. I think it will cruise at 30-35 with the twins turning 2000? I am going off what I have seen here. Its gonna be a way different boat when done.
30-35mph @ 2000 sounds really optimistic but potentialy awesome as well.......
