So..............on a V ? I'll say ......... 60 mph would be possible.
Based on each 50 hp pushing about 8-10 mph faster.

I suppose anything is possible, given enough money and time, but is it really necessary, and can you do it safely? These hulls were never built for that kind of torture. Plowing thru a wave at 35 is a hell of a lot different than smashing thru that same wave at 60. I'm satisfied with my 200 moving me along nicely.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
