M_Boats: speed . . .

No one wants to field this one? The M17 has an L.W.L. of 15' 10" . . . The M17 displaces 1,550 lbs . . . The Flicka 20' has an L.W.L. of 18' 2" . . . The Flicka 20' displaces 6,000 lbs . . . I know the Flicka has the L.W.L. advantage, speed-wise, but that WEIGHT . . . And it's reported that M17's can outrun Catalina 22's . . .
