For what its worth, I used to race a 28 Pantera with an HP 500, it was 5300 lbs and it ran exactly 70mph. I would guess 575 to get to 75mph.

I have twin 350 mags w/250pshp.
I have always run a solid 65 on radar.
another 100 hp per side should do it.

Default Magnum Sedan speeds

The reason I asked the question was to compare I/O to O/B power. For the last couple of years I was running '98 Merc Pro Max 300's, I just bought 4- Merc Pro Max 300X 2003year w/ Sportmaster L/U w/ 1.25" shafts. Only installing 2, selling the other 2. With the 300's boat ran 71GPS @ 6,100RPM, the X motors run up to 6,800 RPM. Have not run boat yet, delays were one thing after another!!! Will keep updates as thing progress. HIGH LIFE
