Looking at a 1999 triple 42 with Hagedorn Motor Sports power that dyno'd 810hp each. How fast would the boat run?

Anyone heard of Hagedorn?

It's a 100 hour boat IMCO boxes and bravo drives. On an aluminum Myco. Care to put a dime on it?

You're probably right on the money there. The acceleration will be unbelievable.

Those blowers look like they are giving it all they got. 810HP with those might be over the edge. Before i stick my foot in my mouth any farther what CI are those?

mine was built as a tripple 750 boat [previous owner] and shogren said it ran approx 99, when it was rerigged as a staggered twin it ran a couple mph faster , for whatever that is worth .

Man. With that setup, I wouldn't ask for more that 700 out of those for reliability reasons. But thats maybe cause I like to hang on them for a few minutes at a time.
