Nice boat!! .. a few options one drop it from a helicopter show at least 100 mph on the speedo ..or 3/700s should get the job done!! I had a friend with a 42 with tripp 650s stepped boat (small) 98 ran a pretty consistant upper 90s and 105 on a good day! ballance wise your boat is faster with twins than tripps (weight thing) and the fact that she is a non step boat will take a few more ponies to reach the century mark . Drives will be your week link!

I'm thinking 700 x3 as well but save some money for drives......Even XR's are temporary behind that much HP.
