I would think 600hp in a 35 should be well into the 70s. Before i swapped #5s, i was running hp 500s, trs drives, with out of the box 26 pitch b1 4 blades turning out. 70mph at 5200. And that's on a 38'. Never tried 3 blades .

Almost every tea mistress with 600 up is 70-74 mph... If true 600 hp I made 598 on dyno... Hard to push these Mistress's mid 70's 38 gun will run faster then a Mistress with same power... Takes 700 up to go 80 in one

When I had 420's in my 40' Excalibur, never had a problem with the TRS spinning 22p hydromotive 4 blades. Sold that and bought a 402 Formula, with 625's and TRS. That thing tied up next to a 38 Cig would dwarf it. 9'3 beam and 40'2'' long, and 18k lb's boat and trailer. It ran a honest 70-73 on gps, turning 25p revolution 4 blades. Freakishly fast for what it was. Only problem is it would eat RH TRS lowers. In the two years I owned it, I went through two RH lowers, and one upper gear set. And I drove it like a gentleman!
