Ahead full and ahead standard are different. You lost me there. Is ahead standard faster than 9.5 knots?

In my sugar boat, ahead emergency is onlly half a knot faster than 9½ knots. Settin' the world on fire!
woops bit of a typo... meant ahead standard Ill go fix it

Sugar boats seem to be the exception to this 'rule of thumb'. But they have a hell of a range anyhow.

But in the other boats ahead std is about 10 to 11 knots, drop it to 9.5 knots and the range increases by a good bit. Dunno why, just a sweet spot in the games programming.
