The 20+ knot live-a-board I have in mind, is the 36 footer below in Aluminum. According to the chart that Roberts sent me, I'll do 25 knots with a pair of diesels totaling 300 hp.

Then there is this nice 57' footer (it needs 1,000 hp to get to those speeds).

The 20' fishing boat I rode for 32 miles, both ways, through 6' seas was one similar to the boat picture below, also with a 150 hp mercury. I did great until we stopped, and they asked me to cut up the squid. Thank God there was an oil rig nearby with a rope dangling I was able to scurry up!
