a 2001 is a step bottom.

Why are you arguing with people that OWN the boats and have run the power in them?

Facts are Facts - flat bottom Cigs from the 90's just aren't that fast.

I disagree with you as ours and Craig's (Oldschool) are well above 100mph and it handles GREAT. It's all about the setup.

Dat dar is funny!!!!
Talking about Seafordguys turning the speedo 90 degrees!
My 2 cents......if you want to see triple digits, just buy a stepped TG and be done with it. Otherwise, you will spend 100 grand on engines that will need rebuilding every year or two.

It will still take about 750hp to see 100mph in a T/S Gun. Check this site out this calculator is pretty accurate.

If the hull is Kevlar, side by side configuration, and full cabin it will take at least 1100 HP X 2 to break 100mph in the real world. That is also with #6 drives mounted very high. If it is a standard fiberglass hull, it's going to be almost impossible. The limited staggered, Kevlar hulls, with half and/or no cabins will break 100 with a little less HP.
130mph in a straight bottom 90's Cig is unheard of.......
