Default 42 fountain speeds

What kind of speeds will you see on a non step 42 with 600sc's and number 3ssm?

Got an 85 12 Meter (40 no step) with fresh 540's dyno @ 700hp (natural) with SSM3 w/ 16.5X25's and runs about 76, hoping to get to 80 in the right conditions and maybe 1 step up in prop. Might be a close comparason?

Thanks, I was hoping it would do 80mph but I guess it takes a lot of HP to get there. I bet with the SSM3 they handle great.

According to the old owner, it should be right around 800 each . Went with 27p 4 blades. Light fuel and two people. Would love to break 100+ but might need lots more powers or need boat
