Did I miss that you got a new boat?
77mph on the river will put you in a happy place. If your worried about being faster than most I would run it like it is. You might be happily surprised.
Once you burning up a few motors you will understand exactly what Kendall is saying....I agree

You would be better of buying a 31 with 496 mags... save the 6,000 upcharge for the H.O.'s put that towards the 15K it's gonna cost to install 2 Raylar kits.. Figure 6k per kit plus 1,500 per side installation..
IMO a 75 mph 31 with added 200 hp should be 85..
