I suspect the Cummins will push it along as well as a V8, I'm not looking for a speed demon, either. If I can cruise around 20 I'll be happy. Most of the time its to rough anyway to go to fast.

The prop on it is large by gas inboard standards, that diesel has a lot of torque, I imagine docking might not be so bad.

I also would fully expect the Cummins to do as well as the V8. The reason is that they can pitch the prop to match the torque curve of the engine.

Is it a 6BT?
