Thanks. I actually prefer the Choey Lee trawler profile like yours to the Efficient that I have. But the Efficient has a lot of space. I call it my three bed, two bath mobile condo. Also the hull form allows for planing and can get up on the step. Booksays 18mph. I have not seen that but I can cruise quite efficiently at 10 knots at mid rpm range. And with 1,000 gallons of fuel, I can put in some distance.
Also, just absolutely love the true stand up/walk around engine room and the professional finish with all cables in raceways and the copper/nickel piping. Really is a small ship and therefore appeals to the professional mariner in me.
