I have a friend who owns a GB 32 with the Cummins 210 engine. He says that when you open it up the hull just pushes a wall of water. I think he can get her to about 12 kts.
If all you want to do is top out at 15+ kts the newer 34T will top out at 17+ with the single 370 hp engine or 19 with twin Yanmar 240s.
My Pilot 34 tops out at 18-19 kts with the single Yanmar 370.
So it can be done but it takes 370 hp or so to do it.

Sorry David, forgot to search for a MS pilot.
This looks promising at £76k, so only slightly above my budget.
2008 Mainship 31 Pilot Power New and Used Boats for Sale -
Aha, this only weighs 5.3 tons, that explains why it reaches 17kts.
This is a definite candidate: but only 315hp.....
