A 21 Hammond or Stryker would run close to 90 with that power. So I say 90.

That 60mph speed there is like a wall or something imho and going faster seems to be much harder.
So with that said, 70.5 mph

That must have been a bummer, but your results are very different from most 18-22ft small boats. Schit, one I worked on adding 100hp to it's still 5.7L in a 20ft'r brought it from 54mph to 73. The last 5mph was putting on a 2" shorter outdrive.

88 MPH IF you add a 121g from O'reilly's Auto Parts.

81.1 if we're doing the 1/10ths thing.
Good luck it's gonna get hairy after the upper 70s I bet. Should be fun though.

Also I'm sure you're already well aware but I'll say it anywhoo. I'd pony up for some hydraulic steering. I had a smaller boat into the low 80s.

It was mid 70s before I added hydraulic steering and I can tell ya that even a little free play with cable steering is scary once you have to "drive" the boat

if it is the 22 avanti... my 25 agressor narrow beam was 82 with a 500 HP, my 25 outlaw whippled HP 500 ran like 81-83, so ... my guess is...
85 mph is my guesstimate!
