My 42 with 1200's ran 121 but they weren't Mercs so it's hard to compare as the Mercs always seem to run strong for their HP rating. The boat was on rails up to about 110, then you had to drive it.

Here are a few facts about my friend Bob's 42X with 1100's.
The boat runs 120+ all day long and he has seen 125. The boat has just shy of 300 hours and is getting a full rebuild both engines and drives. He bought the boat with roughly 150 hours on it. The drives alone cost $30K each and the gears were completely shot. I am not allowed to disclose the cost of the engine rebuilds. He is getting a substantial break through some connections over normal and that is all I can say.
By far, that boat is my favorite stand up V I have ever been in.
