Re: 28 Coastal - Twin Inboard
That pretty well sum's it up. I watch those displacement hulls around here all the time. Not fast but doing 15 knots cruise is fast enough. For some. For others that have limited time or want to do canyon runs and be back for Happy Hour the outboard type Regulators etc are the way to go.
Me personally, I would enjoy either, but for the fishing I do, inshore, occassional run to a wreck ten miles out or a run down to the Shrewsbury Rocks 15 knots and a smooth ride would be sweet. And I don't believe they have ever made and outboard boat that will ride as sweet as an mid-engine straight shaft boat. Physics dictate what is possible and given a good hull design the same boat with an outboard or a inboard straight shaft the ride quality and sea handling the latter will be superior. IMHO
