40 Skater with 800 or so HP

We are looking at this as a project. We would add it to the stable to use as more of a cruising type boat. It looks like it will hold 6-7 passengers comfortably. I know the history of the boat and have spoken to the owner.

We would put on #6 drives but don't want huge power. Our current 40 Skater is fast enough if we ever feel the need.
I was thinking 800-900hp or so with some 33/34 props would be a nice accelerating boat with a top speed of 110ish.

These are all just guesses. I would appreciate more "expert" input.

Waste of time/ money....... Just buy a 38 TS TG and have a 90 mph V bottom with good resale or just buy a CC. That way you have a boat for Florida as well!

How about the experience of putting together a 40 Skater?
If you die with money you are still dead and your kids will just waste it anyway.
Let's build a boat !!
What kind of winter would it be if I posted

Or, send me your Recovery boat, and the $ you would have spent on this project and we'll look at building you a fresh '14 38 or 40 MTI w 700 or 1100s.. All new, all fresh… ...

OrthoB,
since you already have a 40 Skater, hows about a smaller more personal cat, like a 32 Skater. I'm sure there are lots around to be refurbished:

The numbers are for the wife. I know in reality it is going to be a huge money loser.
We want to take our time. Look for deals and piece it together. I've never really "built" anything in my life. I always just go buy what I want.
Noli, I think I can find #6s for $25,000.
