I believe the 6000 has two different drive units. The larger of the two can handle a boat displacement up to 33,000#. Check Raymarine's web site for more information. I have the 6000 with the Type II drive unit installed on hull #848. It has worked well in all conditions so far (winds to 30 knots).
