Mine has no hardtop. I'm a better candidate.

Using the calculator is interesting. The 225 factor does not say stepped hull, which 400 has.

Raise x dimension, 2700hp, M8's. Seems like 100 is close.

heck, at a 100 I'm not sure if the top would hurt or help... could pack air under it like a cat hull

How about a 48 Fountain EC w/Triple 700SCI

That's what I was just sitting here thinking... I don't know how fast that 48EC was running but it looked like up in the 70's-80's with the triple 700's... I would bet one of those would run 100! and its a fountain so you know it'll be fast!

I was told that you couldn't fit anything but 700's under the hatch of an EC.. how much taller would a 1075 or 1100 be than a stock 700?

I'm pretty sure you should do this Dave. Its only $$, and you can make more (for the rest of your life)

As a reference. I did a couple of built whipple 502s that made right at 900 HP in a 400SS with Bravo drives. It runs mid 70's on an inland lake in the heat. Probably would break 80 at sea level with some chop. Believe it or not it's never broken a drive (Bravo XR) in 4 years.

Dave,
I think you'll run out of lake before you can
get it there

build it

You are so right !! Better be 2011 water.

Zero percent chance. Good friend of ours has a new 2012 w/ 725 Ilmor's boat runs hign 60"s. His boat weigh's 18,000 lb's. This boat does not like cleaver props. M8's and 1350's my guess you'd pick up maybe 10 MPH.
