Default what do you think

wanted find out what everyone thought on a boat i was looking at .it wont be the fastest around and that ok with me because this will be my first cat .
the boat is a 1998 32 with 2001 300x motor's i was told the boat would cruise at 80 to 90 mph witch seem good to me with a top speed in the rite condition's 100 to 102 mph .
to cruise with this boat in the 80 mph range how would the boat act .i only ask this beacuse i see inboard boat with big power run 130s+ ...is 80 to 90 cruise fast enough for the boat to handle good and pack enough air ?

any other info would be great

thank's
mike

That boat should pack air and cruise well in the mid 70's I would think. My 28 stops hopping around 68-70 range under normal loads.
