GT, fully agree on hull design, being desinged for its main use.
There is an owners forum for the extreme here on OSO.
Dave Wardey builds them.
I'm not aware of a 525 29shotgun, which is the pleasure version. with a 425hp 496 its running 83, which imo is impressive. These also are running SVL w/ full canopy and i believe 525s.
Here's a pic i have...

That looks lower profile than the Tuff..... which has no effect on it't rough water ability.

good, cus there are a lot that seam to think that you need to be heavy slow and have high sides to run in rough water. length, balance and constant keel have more to do with it than anything.
I think you should leave it alone... maybe a 700 as the most choice of motor. Start adding 100s of HPs just to get another 10-15 mph isnt worth it.

Thought I'd post this:
Boat with pad bottom hull Document Type and Number:United States Patent 5390624 Link to this page:http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5390624.html Abstract:A planing boat having a stern and a bow includes a hull having a generally flat central bottom surface forming a portion of a pad with the surface tapering from a specified width at the stern towards the bow. Reverse wedge surfaces blended with the central bottom surface at the stern and deadrise surfaces blended with the central bottom surface and intersecting with the reverse wedge surfaces continue forward towards the bow. The rear portion of the flat bottom surface is tipped upwardly towards the stern.
