If you want to make time you need big motors. I'm not interested in a boat that cannot cruise 20-25 knots. Smaller 4 cylinder Cummins rattle and you would be stuck running maybe 15...so a trawler.

BI is 70 miles away from my dock which I can do in three hours. Something like that Tiara 3200 I could probably cut that down to around 2 1/2.

One guy I know with a big center console can do it in a bit over an hour if its calm...30ft Salt Shaker with triple Honda outboards...WOT at the end of the harbor just after sunrise when it was like glass...just kissing 60mph...a bit over an hour to BI!
