Guys, what kind of performance should be expected from this set-up?

It's the first 38 i've seen with less than 525's, how much of a negative, relative to value are the HO's?

Thanks for the help.

The current owner requested the boat with those engines and built it to order for himself. He and Reggie are friends. Test sheet numbers on the boat is 85mph, current owner with regular amount of fuel, people on the boat said 80mph on a good day but usually running high 70's if memory serves me correctly.
Beautiful boat, it is done very well.

Love that boat. Would not be scared to own it with HOs

500 efis should push it 82 or 83, so prob mid-high 70s if your lucky

Thanks for the feedback.

I think probably mid to low eighties is a better projection. A 2008 38 is a full stagger. High x dim and a set of 6 blades will probably put that boat mid eighties. A 525 boat should run in the low 90s
