In the usual configuration (loaded with beer and gas.... and light-wieght bikinis!) it is a 78 mph boat.
Besides making it a breeze to get on plane with a race-labbed hydro, the tabs make all the difference in keeping the ride tolerable (ie- no broken beer bottles in the cooler and no bruises underneath the aforementioned bikinis!) while still running with the big boys (65+) in 2-3 footers.

The 1992 boat in the top pic had twin OMC King Cobra drives and 351W small blocks.
The 1995 boat in the bottom pic had Bravos and Merc 350(ci)EFI's.
