Know someone that is considering a project. 48 OE, no power, ASD 8 drives, I think. He's thinking about something mild, in the 700 hp / side range. What would that big beast run with that kind of power? I know OE's are generally heavy boats.

70-80mph is my guess.

That's it, eh? Sounds like getting one to run a century would require BIG power...

Yes it would!
