Well, that is yet to be seen. There are several fast ones in our "Carolina Powerboat Club". We have 3 that are probably 100 mph boats or more.
All 3 have just gotten there engines back in them and have not been fully tested and dailed in yet. They will be posting soon I am sure.
I use to have a 280 with a blown engine and was a mid 90mph boat with my power. These guys have much more power than I ever had.
