Mark,
Wolffie told me he ran the 36ft Skater he had at his shop for awhile to 146. It had a couple of 900SC Mercs. However it had Lake X stickers claiming 152.

If your refering to the 30 Eliminator, I would say that with a lightwieght layup, stand off boxes, pretty high X, you can do it with 900-950hp. I think a true 1100hp would propel the boat near 160mph if you could get props for it.

What would be trick is keeping it under the hatch.

Thanks,
Dustin

I based my reply on a friends 33 Eliminator with 2 Paul Pfaff 1100's on board with bravos. It ran over 112 last weekend on gps using 28 or 30 pitch props.... the 36's will be here this week!! Then we will see........

The power of $350.000.00 is a good guess on power....total price of boat and motors
