Has anyone had experience with the Greenline 33?
I'm interested in its hull, specifically the shallow draft, the semi tunnel protected prop, and the rigid fins placed well aft.
Shallow draft appeals to me for sneaking into thin water, tunnel props don't make the stern squat as low (or the bow rise so high) when extra power is applied, and those fins are the only ones I've seen placed so far aft.
The smallest engine seems to be 170hp, which seems kind of big...not much room in the engine 'compartment' and having a 50hp or 60hp option would make it easier to work on and extend the range significantly, or free up more diesel for heating in cold climates, etc.
My ballpark guess is that a 60hp engine would get a gallon or less per hour at 7 knots and be able to cruise easily at 10 knots. That's plenty fast enough for me.
