This has to be the most generic, open ended question I've read on here for A LONG TIME! Why waste time trying to answer it?

Given the right truck a 75 sunseeker will do 100.......

A 48 fountain express cruise will do around 80 with tripple 700's... they have surface drives, just swap motors with 1350s and your at 100 with room for the family.

The 46 BT named No Comprimise has triple 800 Chief engines and runs just shy of 100mph.

Takes about 200K used and 600K new. sounds like you are not happy with the performance increase with your new engne.

There is a 43 Flatdeck BT that will run 140+ but he has huge power.

Just getting ready to test it out here in Havasu tomorrow Snap. Im sure I will be happy with it....for a while! Just was sitting around, cruising the classifieds and wondering. We love our boat, dont haul any kids around in it, and was curious what guys were running to get to that speed with the goodies.

i think 2 boats would be cheaper and each do their respective jobs better. one to spend the weekend on, with a really fast one tied up behind it...
