Ok that seems reasonable like I said thus is a thrown together motor and it likes tge labbed 26 bravo the best abd it turns it to 5600 at 74 so it must be like black baja said it is just a turd lol

So at 800 hp u are thinking 90 mph is possible if the handling issues are taken care of because roughly 75 hp looks to be worth roughly 5 mph in theory and 950 would push 100

Also it is prob more important the drive hydrodynamics is more important than the hull at those speeds do to the hull is not in the water so I have a standard length bravo dual water pick up what can be done

It is not that linear with hp vs speed. When you get past about the 70-75mph mark, it will take maybe 100 hp more to gain the next 5 mph, then maybe 150hp for the next 5mp gain, etc

Gotcha but how are these guys running 100 in the same boat with less than 1000 hp
