Sick stingers boat had 700s and did 82-84 through trs' with 640 high 70s, 65 is where it starts taking a LOT more power to gain very little in those hulls from what I understand

Low 60's - if you can get it in some big enough water to unhook the bottom.

So if you put a set of pro chargers on it do you think you would see 71/72

With 650 and trs your looking at 77 78 propped just right and trimmed out plus in a good chop to air the hull a bit so it's less wet. I'm selling mine less power fully updated. Really nice boat they run level and true if you have a chance run in one
