7 to 9 knots in a Marinaut is above hull speed, and below plaining speed. You would be at the stage where you are pushing a step of water, with the boat trying to get up onto that step, and it will be the least efficient speed available on that boat. Slow cruise will be about 4.5 knots, Hull speed will come in at about 5.5, and plaining will be just slightly over 9 knots.

Sure you can do it, comfort will depend on water conditions, and how comfortable you are at that gas guzzling speed. As to that R-23 best cruise speed, at 22 it is going to be pushing a lot of water too. That is not a plaining hull, and the fuel burn at 22 is twice to 3 times the fuel burn a 6 knots.

Correction Harvey. As you know, we now own an R23 and it is definitely a planing hull. We usually get on plane at about 17 mph and she does prefer to cruise around 22-27 mph. Obviously the fuel burn is not like the CD22, 2 mpg or less and 10+ gph. Trade-offs right?

Thanks Peter. I should have waited for you to go first. I understood it was a combination planing/displacement. The ones I have seen making 20 knotts looked like they were working pretty hard.

No worries Harvey. The inboard diesels are definitely not go fast planing hulls. However, the new generation R23, R27 and now the R25 are all outboard planing hulls that WANT to go fast. Our R23 would rather go 30 mph than 20. It takes a lot of control on my part to keep it under 25mph. Other than all the systems on the boat, the biggest adjustment we had to make was getting used to the gas guzzling on the R23 compared to sipping gas on the C-Dorys.

Hello- Are you able to get comprehensive insurance on this build? It appears another person who purchased either the first or near first build was having difficulty getting comprehensive insurance due to it the hull identifier showing the boat as a "Washington State homemade boat.", or something to that effect. Am curious about this because we have heard on non insurable boats due to being homemade. The conversation over that was in this forum and I believe the owner seeking advice was Gary. He posted the Hull identification and it began with a WNZ to denote a homemade vessel. Thanks for any input regarding ability to obtain insurance on your new build.

I have entered into an agreement with Madison Bay Holding for the production of the Marinaut pilot house boat. The company is owned and operated by Ricardo Ruelos who was Executive Vice President and a shareholder of C-Dory Marine during a successful and productive period from 2000-2005. Ricardo exited the company in 2005 and was hired back in 2007 to assist with a restructure that managed to save the C-Dory brand. Ricardo and I have been working together over the past years to move the Marinaut molds to Florida where he has established an infrastructure and manufacturing base to begin producing the Marinaut 215 (now branded as the 220). He has added additional models of 25 ft, 33 ft and 36 ft Cruisers to his line of boats.

The Marinaut and all boats will be marketed under the Cape Dory Cruisers brand as Ricardo acquired the trademarks for Cape Dory after completing his involvement with C-Dory and the investors at the time, Fluid Marine. The new website is capedorycruisers.com

I answered an ad about a used 2023 220 but when they got back to me. It wasn’t a used boat at all but they wanted to build me a new one. A lot of money to spend. With out being able to see one or get on it or take it for a test run. Hope it works for them but I think they will have to bit the bullet and build a few and sale them. Starts at 78,490 before you add the motor or any options.

Forgive me if this sounds a little "snarky", but how is this any better than either a C-Dory 22 or Venture 23 from a very established and proven boat builder, NMI?

My only official comment is that you seem to buy the hull, and then everything else is extra! Never heard of "extra" for v bunk cushions ($1160). Many of those extras are standard on any C Dory. You could get will into the $120,000 by the time you had a decency equipped boat.

But you could outfit it anyway you want at whatever level of spending you are comfortable with. If the bare boat was inexpensive enough and you had the time and the skills, this might not be such a bad idea. Buy what you want from the factory and do the rest yourself.

For example, you may not like the factory v-berth cushions (too hard, too thin, wrong color, whatever). So rather than pay for the factory ones and then discarding them, you just buy/make ones you find more suitable. How many C-Brats have "enhanced" the cushions that came with their boats?

I have.....and to emphasize your point, it cost $1800 (if I remember correctly)! True, my wife picked a somewhat more expensive fabric, but the final result is terrific (not to mention cheerful Wink).
