502 MAG MPI with kaamas the boat will do 75 - 77. Was in 6 to 8 footers last year coming home from cape and the boat preformed very well. Boat weighs about 8000lbs dry. One of the best rough water hulls that Formula has ever made.

Mookster, I think we spoke about your weight/speed concerns on the Formula thread year or two ago. If you are truly weighing in at 10,500, gosh that's very, very heavy. I believe I shared that with the first '79 302 SE I bought, they claimed in the fancy binder that it was around 7,000 dry. At the time, I had a Suburban so with the trailer, I was a little concerned about going over capacity. With with the boat empty, but wet with around 1/4 tank of fuel, I calculated it at the scales at around 7,500 lbs. The boat stock ran a solid 60-62 all day long, before building new motors which got me to the low 70's. Did you ever actually weigh your boat?
