Our 2006 Nordic Tug 32 has a 270HP Cummins diesel.  Our normal cruising speed is between 7-8 knots.  If I'm in a hurry to get somewhere, I may run up to 10-12 knots.  Boat has a top-end of 18 knots.  I don't have a fuel monitoring system, and my only reference is gallons per hour (GPH).  For the past 2 seasons, I've put on about 200 hours per season, and my overall fuel consumption has been 1.9 GPH.  At a constant 7 knots, mileage will be better.  Older NT32's will have smaller 210HP diesels with lower top-ends but better fuel economy.  It will be difficult to find an NT32 for $100K.  Wilde Yacht's in Essex CT has an 1988 NT32 for $100K.
