BrendanR Did you hit 70 mph in your 201 Liberator? My 201 Liberator hit a best of 72.1 mph with the 383 engine. With a built 400 sbc it hit 72.8 mph. Later this summer I will be running the boat with a built 406 sbc engine. It should go a little faster with the new engine.

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.

I chine walk a little after 80 but really not bad with a big block.
