For me and my current upgrade project, I am relying on what others have done to their 38 Formulas and their experiences. When I am finished it will be like driving a new boat so my boat and I will have to become reaquanted once again. I'll start slow and work up to speed

I don't know this for a fact, but I feel most things are designed with a 100% safety factor built in. In other words, I think a transom rated for 100 hp will most likely hold 200 hp. I also believe a 5000# hitch would pull 10,000#. I inadvertenly put the hitch to test. I have several balls around, and I thought I had the 8,000# ball on the reciever and pulled a 6000# boat around all summer. I took the hitch off and saw it was a #3500.

Back to the question, I think the top speed of the boat is directly proportional to the size of you nads, and inversely proportional to the number of brain cells.
