Let's say easily driven, it's not 5,000 pounds. It doesn't take 20 knots to make it go, really wasn't built that way. In the owners information you get with the boat it states that 4' seas and 25 knots it's time to quit, it says "YOU CAN BREAK THIS BOAT". If you sail in 20+ with big seas the 2023 isn't the right boat for you. Bob Frak S/V Alegira
