The one thing I don't have on her is a fuel usage meter. Easy to add I know, just haven’t had the time. So just about everything below is based on my experience with her.

Wide open, clean water with little chop, loaded with fuel, water, gear & crew she will do about 40 - 45 knots.

She seems to ride the best and is most fuel efficient at 4000 rpm’s. She will do a solid 28-30 knots in good condition.

What I like best about her is heading offshore. Leaving Hatteras, OI, Morehead or Ocean City, MD with 3-4' seas I'll set her up at 3500 - 4000 RPM, set the auto pilot for the desired fishing spot, turn on the radar contact alarm w/ in one mile and GO!

From Ocean City, MD to the Washington Canyon "bight" is about 60 miles. Before I head offshore I'll top her off with fuel (she holds 235 gallons). In normal seas 3-4' the run out, troll all day (usually leave the pier around 5am and return around 5pm), trolling speeds between 4-7 knots, and return to OC I'll usually burn around 100-120 gallons of fuel. Like everyone else I go as fast as is safe for me & the crew out and home. A good spread and following seas and I'm headed home at about 35 knots.

In snotty weather 6-8' seas and a blowin day I'm headed home at about 2500 rpm, protected by the 360 degree canvass curtain, but slow go'in!

Hope this helps!

What are your thoughts?

Should I go with a broker or try and sell it myself? I tried for a while to sell it myself, now I have it with a broker. I'm sure their a great firm, I just feel like I'm the last thing they care about and the marketing isn't what I would call motivating.

Anyone have any thoughts???
