When I first picked up my old Ocean Pacer she had old worn out 520 HP small blocks that would turn 6500RPMs in her. She had transmissions and Arneson surface drives, can't help you without those. I only saw mid-high 80's before those engines blew sky high but suppossedly she ran 92. As far as the balance, it was like a tank.
Your boat looks great. Are you just trying to get a feel for what kind of #'s you can expect when Summer comes around? I would probably guess with normal drives you should be mid 80's.

I've got a pair of new small blocks I had built for blowers sitting in the shop gathering dust from my last project and I started daydreaming about what would be the optimum setup for that hull. Mostly it's just winter .

hey wade...
last year they were telling me 19 fully disassembled and they'd let me have a trailer at cost...
...anyhow, the 30' kaama sutphen that recently went to illinois was supposed to run 92 on gps on a pair of mrd 498's ( hp?). i think i had it up to about 80 in small swells at the cape on
9-11..
