What would be your guess for top speed and handling? 600hp Hemi, 2000lbs boat before rigging...

Update:
The deck has been painted, unfortunately the project came to a slow down. The owner ran into problems with having the exhaust built to his specs and is now in the process of making his own. The rest of the paint has not been done yet. I hope they finish everything over the winter. I can't wait to see this thing run......

This is an swesome thread! I've allready learned alot just from reading this alone! 
Can someone explain just a basic plan for a lamination sceduall? I know some of these things are company trade secrets but just for us backyard fiberglass junkies can you just tell us a a simple plan of attack for building something and not having it delaminate or come appart on us? Ive been readin up on mold making and such but am still a little leary about actually making something from a mold. Or for that matter.....how about actually making the mold from the plug itself! Thanks

I just stumbled across a new hull design being built right here in NJ. All I can say is WOW!!! Wait till the Offshore people see this! LOA 32ft, 7' Beam, 23 degree bottom at the transom, 3 steps, 1st one RAMAIR INJECTED from recessed scoops in the bow, located on the hull sides of the boat. Sort of like a Ferarri type scoop. Now the kicker
Hull&Deck weight to be in at around 2,000 lbs. Hull vacuum bagged with 1 1/4" Balsa and the sides 1" Balsa. Deck will also be composite material. The boat is a prototype right now and the deck hasn't been started yet. Soon as I get some pics,(You know me) I will post them. I had made only one input about the last step and hope they may try this out. The idea I have been hoping someone will try to eliminate the step bottom boats from spinning in the turns. Time will tell if they go ahead and use it.

Also, the wide chines came from the delta conic design and the airreated step came from The design for Cal Cannal.

Lay ups
Wally, On my website, click on the "BOAT BUILDING" page. Then click on "BUILDING BULLET 130s" . There you will find a step by step process of how I used to build my boats. There are several ways to lay up a boat. This is just one of many... One thing I never used was a chopper gun. Too messy and hard to control the laminant going in. STEVE 1's method is top of the line! I don't know how many details he will give us though...
