Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Rodman 1290 Evolution leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots thanks to its twin 380hp Volvo Penta D6-IPS500 engines and maximum speed of 36 knots at 3,500rpm. Closely followed by, the Nord Star 36 with a respectable cruising speed of 32 knots.
