The new version with ~170HP engines will cruise in the region of 190 kts+ ......
Are you writing from experience? I have flown the single with the new engine and it doesnt add greatly to the performance - certainly nothing like that amount. I have not flown the 42 with the new engines however.
I guess you have flown the 42 at MTOW with a simulated failure after take off. Personally I would not have said on the critical engine the performance is all that great - reassuringly it does climb IF you are on the money, but plenty of margin to get it wrong if climbing away in IMC. In the cruise I would agree it is fine - and I speak from actual experience
