I have received more info from the mailings here than I can tell you. The advice
and stories are great. Well worth getting on this group if you have any interest
in the CHB line of boats.
Dave Walker has also put together quite a good reference. Here they are:
Got a 42' Present Sundeck? Well you have a great hull design, it is being resurrected as a Symbol 42 Motoryacht. Download the article here (25mby, pdf format).

Fuel Efficiency:
Here's a simple way to calculate your GPH at any RPM. It came from a great article about how to calculate your GPH (gallons per hour). It's by Mike Carson and appeared in the April 1981 issue of Motor Boat and Sailing. But, I have condensed it down to the "meat" for those of you who just want to "get it done"! There is a link on that page to the full article if you want to get it in its entirety.
I did a rough calculation of Knot Kidding, click here to see the graph.. Actually, in practice, we average 4.5 - 5 GPH, including some generator use. Not bad!!!
