I had a 211 Lib also with the stock (ran good and solid but with many hours) 350 King Cobra and stock 21 prop.
It would get over 50 once in a great while with luck, a tail wind, light load, just me in it, etc etc...
You get the idea.
I think it would take a lot more motor than stock to get a solid 57-58 out of that boat, hull, etc if everything else is stock.
You do sound like you are back towards the factory area and speeds compared to what I had and what others I have heard.
I had always heard that those boats with the 460 KCs were still running under 55 mph.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I removed the whale tail and now im hitting 52mph. Going to double check timing, and see what else I can think of to get my 57mph again.

I would be interested in buying one to try it and see what happens. Did they come off of an OMC drive?
