When we repowered and the engine had less than 10 hours on it, we eeked out a 50 mph reading, wide open with the engine trimmed waay up. I've not been able to reproduce that since then, even just a few weeks ago with new bottom paint. Mid-40s seems to be the best I can do, but as was said earlier it feels pretty dicey. A cross-wind gust feels like it's going to put her on her side! But I rarely run her anywhere close to wide open, unless it's a calm day and I just want to let her stretch.
