Why? Because cruising with a crowd is what this boat is all about. Such a large group also boosts your confidence that the accompanying power and performance chart will more accurately reflect the speeds, fuel consumption, and range you can expect from the 540 CMY in real-world use. We were also better able to assess the 540 CMY's accommodation plan. With two decks - three counting the flying bridge - the 540 CMY offers the elbow room a large crew needs. But other questions linger. Can the dinghy be easily launched? Is the boat equipped so that you can be relatively self-sufficient? Are machinery noises quiet enough to allow everyone aboard to sleep? As far as the 540 CMY is concerned, the answers are yes, yes, and yes. That's not to say there's no room for improvement, but overall, the 540 CMY should please those looking for a boat that combines classic motoryacht values with an upscale express cruiser twist. WHOOOOSH. Think "motoryacht" and the word stodgy might come to mind. That's not the case with the 540 CMY. From the dock you can see its sleek lines, and from the helm you'll feel its authoritative power. Grab the throttles. Accelerate. Feel your body compress into the plush cushions of the power-adjustable bolster bench. Vibration is negligible. With twin 800-bhp Caterpillar 3406E diesel inboards turning thick, 2 1/2" stainless-steel shafts and four-bladed props, we wrung a silky smooth 31.6 mph out of 2280 rpm. Spin the wheel. The 540 CMY leans into turns without bogging down. Confidence is assured. Pull the levers back. The 540 CMY falls into a nice groove at 25 mph, consuming 40 gallons per hour. Based on 90 percent of the fuel supply, that means a range of 450 statute miles. If you want to eat up even more water property, throttle back. We kept the 540 CMY on plane at just 13.4 mph. Perfect for keeping doors from slamming and your better half from yelling if the seas get lumpy. Doing the "Ditch"? The 540 CMY makes 7.1 mph without leaving a wake. Th
