Why is 200 hp a bit much for Vs ?

[draglink]

I have a good friend with a '74 center console V that he totally rebuilt with composite stringers, floor and transom...she is a lot lighter now. He went with the E-Tech 200SB. He easily sees 55+ and at cruising speed she almost makes fuel!

Mine at 53 was very comfortable, wasnt squirrely at all

She really is nice cruising at 40, but usually keep her around 35-37 range to save a little fuel and keep my crew happy
