I took a peek at that Atlanta, nice looking thing indeed!
Very similar in layout to the much loved Fairline Mirage 29, with separate front V berth, rather nice pullman dinette with additional seating to the side, and pleasant rear cockpit.
That particular Volvo engine, despite being Petrol is a very robust unit, based on the Volvo 140/240 cars, and they lasted forever in those! Our old Birchwood 25 was petrol, but an older design of OHV Ford Crossflow engine, not in the same league as the Volvo, and we never had an issue with fuel supply or economy (Unlike some of the silly V8's kicking around on the Thames!)
Looks like a very well planned and kitted-out boat overall, which will do anything you need to!
Hope it goes well, can't wait to see you out and about...

Plus you could do the narrow northern canals if you wanted to go that far and chug along a ditch.
edit: If it is a narrowbeam that is.

I think they are a bit wide for a 7 foot lock (unlike their 24 foot cousins)
