I have a buddy with a new DW32/450R setup that says high 130s/140 are attainable with big props and nothing in the boat/ideal conditions. Real world numbers for all of these new bigger (34' and up) 450 cats are in the high teens/low 120s w/ normal loads - I have a few friends with MTI 340/390 and a Skater 368. I've never had one (including DW 36s and DCB M37s during poker runs) stay with my Skater 36/700 rig as we roll by them at high 120s/low 130s. And the minute it get's lumpy, we've got them covered by an additional 10-20mph, as there's just no comparing a 6,500# outboard rig to a 9,500# inboard Skater in the rough.
