Gaterone ran 187 on pump gas in his 388...... I'd imagine i'd make quite a bit more power with race gas like Gino had (not putting down Gino).

Totally understand, boats in general are just faster with todays building materials than they were in 2003...

The new Merc 1350's and Teague's 368 Race Skater breaking 140mph with stock 525's got me to thinking how fast somebody could go with stock power if they really wanted to these days...
