46 top end and 40 excl.

Beeing because the 46 is haevyer needs more to get TOP END and also 46 has longer tunnel more air less drag at WOT ,,,faster.

I would Quess ????!!!!!!

If Freedom went 147 with 1250's, my 40 is faster with less hp.

But you should know this....

don't know what a 46 weighs, but my 40 weighs right at 9,000 lbs, not sure what mine will run yet, never went for a top end number, just to many boats and not enough straight water
