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 :drink:

get ready to start your journey into trial and err!!! 600hp...what rpm....what tourqe and what rpm is that...weight of the motors...i went down this road before. great journey but sometimes you will pull your hair out. My dream was simple.......H.P.+prop=huge speed....i was wrong

Straight bottom 32 Fever? I would definately say upper 80mph range. I think mid nineties would definately be reaching.

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.
