It's about time to survey the next boat. I need recommendations.

Rodman 12/50 available to order without the flybridge, might suit you very well. Volvo D6/440 on shafts the biggest option
Botnia Targa 44 also Volvo. D6/400 outdrives. Or IPS. No shafts.

EDIT: corrected Targa

Thought Botnia targa 44 was outdrives or ips, that's what we were told when we looked a few years ago.

Only issue with swift trawler is speed. Aren’t they 22-23 knots max and the OP wants 22 cruise and 30 knot sprint

Yes, I prefer to buy new because :
2. It is almost impossible for me to hire a surveyor from the other side of earth..

Hi Peter

If you need to get serious about a used boat, and maybe not from your immediate area, JM Marine Survey (Singapore) will provide a first class service, including delivery from any Asian ports. You won’t find a more professional and experienced operation, highly recommended.

How about the Beneteau Swift trawler 41 sedan? No flybridge, on shafts, but Volvo Engines - Swift trawler 41 Sedan - Motorboats For Sale | BENETEAU

I don't find the performance chart for Swift Trawler 41, would you please advise? Thank you very much.

If I amend the cruising speed around 20 ~ 22 knot and WOT around 27~ 28 knot.
Will this be more practical?

Here is a review with performance Beneteau Swift Trawler 41 (2020-) | BoatTEST

It is the flybridge version so a sedan would probably be a little quicker.
