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.
