I guess, I think i would be frustrated if I had to go 14 or 15 kts anywhere. Barring shity weather of course!

Most of my trips I cruise at 6 to 8 knots. That means its dark and I hate hitting things going faster than that or I’m fishing and that’s about the right speed. The boat doesn’t drop onto plane until 21 knots. I try and make my decisions based on the flow scan and the calendar not the stop watch. Twenty one to twenty eight knots make up less than 15% of my time on the water, even thought its fun, it’s not efficient.

and will do 34 knots at 4700 r.p.m.s

I missed something along the way in this thread if I am reading that right. I have a KAD42 in my 26' Blackman. It doesn't (and/or shouldn't) do 4700 RPM. Your's does?

Wow.. Volvo recommends 3800/3900 WOT, and cruise at 90% of that. Careful. Nice boat.
