I'm with Dave on this one. A 500HP/502cube engine is a good package for a 24X7.
I also had a 24' Pantera with a 330 and my Dad had a 24' Excaliber with a 400.
These are just not the fastest hull design. They do ride great for their size though in the rough.
You want to go real fast, keep that 21 and give that engine a little boost...

Not really looking to get the 24 moving crazy fast but mid 80s is moving in these hulls, no doubt. Currently upper 70s isn't a big deal, and thats with an old slopy worn out cable helm. I figure that I should be able to get into the 80s relatively safely with the improved steering.. little bigger tabs might help too.
I agree a 500hp motor that can run on 87octane would be the hot setup in these boats. I already run premium, though and am close to 500hp.. upper 70s leaves me wanting more and seems like this hull has some more left in it. Guess we'll find out. This 24 is also, most likely, going to end up being my only boat... got a couple of serious lookers on the 21 right now.
