900 hp is too much power for that hull. It was never designed to go the speeds that 900 hp will carry it. I'm sure if you asked Reggie he would tell your friend to detune those engines or to put them in a 38 or 42.

I doubt it, Reggie would tell him it's underpowered...

BTW: David Knight had a 35 with twin 1000's.
