311 spinning in in will be faster but hurt stability, over 75 stars to be a drivers boat, my buddys went 80 with about 600 a side with TRS so I will say to expect 84-86 ish realistically, I will say if it was sloppy with TRS at 80, be careful and really play with it.
Once you break 80 it's hard to get speed in any straight hull and most never meant to see even 80 let alone more. I would love to see a 90 mph 311 that would be sweet!!!
Another buddy had a 311 that went 83 and he said it was a handful but I was never on that one.

Hey Justin...good to hear from ya...ya..took WAY longer than I thought but I did everything "right" no short cuts, I could write a Book with the :"issues" I ran into! I have a folder with all the receipts, etc...havnt had the "stones" to open it up and add it all up! lol...All new custom upholstery is next. Sure I am in for Double! Ive got a pair of 25 3-blades that were on it and a pair of 32 4-blades I can try. No way the 25's will work so will throw the 32's on, probably too big but I REALLY want to get her wet! I have talked to some guys with 550hp/side in these 311's but havnt found anyone w/735/side...anyone?? would LOVE to hear! PS - Don't think there will be a line at the dock??
Good luck I would love to see your rig!!!

mY APACHE had been set up to spin inwards by a previous owner. It handled worse than my 25 (23.5') Sunsation Aggressor in waves. Switched to outward rotation then didnt even feel going through ruff stuff. Cost me about 3 MPH but stability more than made up for it.

agree with whats already been posted.
rode better in calm water with bow high, but was unstable in rough. Think of it as your ridding on the point of the V and it will rock easily. Also, you lose reverse thrust, which is the affect around the docks.
Out was a lot more comfortable and stable. I am not as fast as you will be going, so your GF will definitely NOT like IN.

Is the transmission ratio the same forward and reverse? If so, you could run it as is, switch props and go run it again in reverse to see which you prefer.
Just to clarify I am asking not suggesting!
