RKP:
We boat along the western shore of lake mi. Primarily traverse bay area and strictly day boat use. We purchased a 2001 Coronet at the beginning of 2013. It's very comfortable with 6 adults out for a day of cruising. We did a half dozen 80 mile round trips. We have small block mercruisers. The cruising sweet spot is somewhere just over 20 miles an hour. Speed up to about 30 is quite comfortable. Top end is about 35. The boat does not like speeds between 10 and 20.
Travel into weather with waves which NOAA describes as 3 to 4 is uncomfortable but the boat behaves well with a solid feel.
