Somehing is off with the boat speed, the PBX can go 58km/h , whcih is 36mph, this is pretty spot on for a boat with good horsepower, i.e. speed boat.

However the Fishing boat and the Small boat both go 15 and 11 km/h respectively , these are about 6-9 mph.... A sailboat does 6-9 knots, which is actually faster than both these boats as we are dealing with knots! I've never seen a sailboat outpace a motor boat, there would probably have to be a gail.

It takes an awful lot of energy to press a boat past 10 knots unless it can plane. Boat speeds are fairly spot on as they are.

Maximum boat speed of a boat with a submerged hull is given by the length of its waterline. In the case of the boats that we have, this length is quite short. 15kph (=8 kts) is more than enough for these boats.
