Nosfool do you have dry exhaust? That is a fairly radical cam. My guess is your engine would rev to 5,800+ rpm.

yes I hit 85 mph last year. It was a hot run so the next one right after was on video...

It has wet exhaust. Yes it should make good power all the to 5800 to 6000 rpm. I have always ran it with full of fuel and full interior and passengers in the boat. It’s still gaining speed but I get out if the throttle due to the chine walk it has. It runs 62mph on gps at 4100rpm with the 26 pitch prop.

Let's keep this thread rollin. I'm curious to see where we all get with these liberators. I'm after the infamous 261 speed record in a 201!

That guy has a 21 ft Liberator which is a center pod tunnel hull boat. The hull weighs about 900# without the outboard engine.
