I understand what you are saying. I was just looking at some specs on a 28 mckee with twin 225 and its top speed with 60 and that boat is bigger boat then the 25 seacraft. I am trying to make sure the motors i am looking are running at its potential.

re-read numskulls post. you need to stop focusing on top speed at look at fuel burn at cruise, unless you are planning on doing poker runs or something i guess.

Numskull said it best. any boat, 23-28 feet, plan on max cruise speed of 30kts on nice days, less when it kicks up (which in SENE is more often than not.)

Of course there are FAC days that you can max things out, but like RIRH said, have you ever driven a boat at 60kts? It is not for the faint of heart.... or faint of wallet as likwid mentioned.
