Hey...
That's me in the middle! I once looked at a 26 O/B with 2.4 bridgeports (mid 1980's)...i don't know the hp for those models, but the boat was said to run 78. with the cleaver props and the setback it was 6-8 or so mph faster than an alpha 350 mag set up, but rough to get on plane.

I had a 26 with 22" setback on 20" centers with 92 EFI offshores and it would run 86-87. I believe we went to 2.0:1 lowers and ran 26 Mazco's and spun 7600. Super package!
