But I bet the GB42 wouldn't be equipped with a brace of "lick you to death" attack whippets would it?

Bigwow......Major.......Kwakers and Searush.............
Just you wait until those attack whippets get to grips with you lot, just you wait, you'll see.
I'm putting a lock on the drinks cabinet until you all apologise so there.

I'm quoting this review . Surprised me too, I was expecting maybe a dizzy 9 knots WOT.

9Knts........... my 32 will do that on a good day, with the wind and flat, clean bum and WOT /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif Not that WOT gets used on Little Ship,.... oh no, burn 2 1/2 gallons an hour no sireee. Ask Kwacker he knows.
The 42s should be capable of 12 with Lehmans in. Dont forget the Lehmans are only 125hp the one in the article had Cummins in.

Yep, 300hp cummins engines, just what I suspected and I bet she was burning whole rig full of diesel at that speed, probably more than 10 gals an hour per engine!

1969 woodie - I get 10Kn with a clean bottom at WOT. Cruise at 8.5 @ 2,000rpm.
After 21 years of my ownership she is a bit loaded with kit & gear, so not bad & very economical. That's with sabre 135's installed in 2000.
Had the original 108 lehmans before & cruised at 8, couldn't get more than about 9 at WOT.
