I never dynoed it, but I would say 550hp is a safe number.

This was the corsa martini hull they used as a plug to make the newer style hull.80's vintage.1st offshore boat 1/2" of gel coat fairing material and a piece of wood to make the spalsh rail. Took about 4 months to sand all the gel off and straighten the hull. ran great with b/b trs set-up.

Couple of the carbon fiber dash and gauges. Plus the back seat I made and had covered...it matches damn close to the seats.

18 1/4", that will put my prop shaft centerline about 3 1/2" below the keel. I can always go down. It's just more expensive to go up
