It ran 43-44 with stock power and bottom paint. In 2007 I repowered it with an Indmar crate motor and stock exhaust(Vortec Chevy 350) they stated roughly between 300-320 HP. Hit 53 MPH on GPS.. Only other change was that I had to go up in pitch on the prop...
That said: I would not want to go faster in that hull... Still a great boat after 27 years...
