im looking to buy a bigger boat. Something I can run the icw, the Florida keys and make a fair weather run to the Bahamas. I like the idea of a trawler for fuel consumption and an express cruiser for the speed. could I drive a 280 like a trawler, Running 7 to 18 knots? Googled specs show fuel usage at lower speeds is greatly reduced. I love this idea as it's the best of both worlds..... go slow to save gas but have tons of speed and hp on stand by if/when needed. I know trawler hulls have a displacement/ plowing design where a Sundance is a planeing hull.
I appreciate any thoughts or solid info on this!!!
