Nice looking boat, love the ally construction.
But 20kts with 20tons and twin 190 hp.......wow!
My guess would be twin 500hp at least.

Yes Peter, 20 knots seem to be a bit optimistic Elsewhere I've read about a max-speed of 16 kts.
Another line of boats by the mind behind the "Korvet": Bruijs Coasters
Willem Nieland is well known in Europe, the "Pilot"-series and the "Kuster"-cruisers are probably his most popular designs.
I see they are two different boats. One has my favorite kind of FB and I wonder if that was a standard part of the design. Of course they all may have been close to a one off boat.
So far as I know the Chantyman was a production boat. I don't know how many were made.
Wow, Sea Slice would be a bargain at $180,000 except it's beam is 55' which means no way to get it docked for any length of time... Imagine the cost to dry-dock it, since there is no other way to get it out of the water for service.
Also, draft is 11-14' so I guess that cuts out going to the Bahamas.

I saw these in the VI’s this week; it was hard to get a good picture as they were always running fast.
How fast you figure?

Larry those windows are really bad . I had to look away . Did you photo shop this ?
I like Big Bud. However not in love with big bow wave and stern churn displayed on video. Must cut down on cruise efficiency somewhat. Maybe makes for better handling in rough frontal seas?? Be interesting to see if Eric or Tad comments in the wave/churn action. - Art
Found this handsome devil while over-nighting in a marina in Cape Coral, FL just before turning off the Okeechobee Waterway and heading north on the Gulf Coast ICW. The rear door was a roll-up galvanized type like a garage. Someone spent some money to make it like this, but what a result.
The 14-ton, full-displacement Coot has a big bow wave too, yet gets 1.5 gph at cruising speed even without sail assist.
What is Coot's cruising speed... 6 knts?
