26 speed with single big block/TRS?

How fast would a 26 be with 450 hp and a TRS drive? 500 hp? How good in Great Lakes/rough water? Thanks

Thanks for the info guys. How are they in the rough? Good enough to go out on Lake Michigan?

Raced in Buffalo in 6 foot nasty chop, Raced in Toronto in pretty rough water. Ran very well in the rough stuff, for a 26. One of the best handling 26.

I can attest to this after seeing Ernie and Peter ripping up the New England chop! It's a badass hull... looking forward to seeing the restoration Boxer
