Hp ?? for you fountain guys
I think I have found the engines for the boat.. They are a pair of big blocks, 600 hp apeice.. What kind of mph would or could I expect from a set up like this, also granted I have the right props on it.. I would think it would be in the mid 90's based on some of the other setups I have seen.. I just wanted see if this is correct.. Thanks JOHN

that boat would be a handful @ 90 + there a so many variables to estimate top speed (X dim, props ect.. ) older 32's non step have a lower x keep that in mind. I would'nt expect more than mid 80's out of that set up without getting into shorty lowers ect. been there... done that

Sounds by the power of the board I may have to retract my earlier post. Wishful thinking, I forgot about the steps. Steps will give you about 5. But even with steps sounds like mid 90's is a Mt Hood climb.
