Default What do you think i can expect?

Hey Everyone,

I've been poking around these forums to see what everyone has to say about different topics, but now i have a question that maybe some of you can help me out with.
I just bought my first offshore-style boat and am having it rigged currently over at Paul Pfaff's shop in HB. The hull is a 27' Rayson Craft and i just yesterday had Paul and Gordon get started on it. I bought the motor that they built for the LA Boat show this year, the 598ci, 800HP beast. I have a "beefed up" XR drive and full hydraulic steering on it, but not sure what prop is currently on it. I know the boat previously had a 540ci motor that dyno'd out to 705HP and it supposedly did about 80-85mph. Can someone maybe make an educated guess as to what i can expect it do with the new set up? Thanks in advance!
