sounds like a good swap, I'd suggest starting with a 23P Mirage, that should put you in the low 60's. That engine is rated to turn 4800-5000, you may need to step back to a 21P depending on how its loaded. Trim tabs are a must

That engine is sensitive to propping, just a bit to much pitch and it will bog down. Put one in the SEARAY I did years back, and it was a DOG, only topped out at 4200 RPM's and about 30 MPH. Had the prop repitched from a 17 to a 16 and it jumped up to 4800 RPM's, and topped out at almost 40MPH. It should move right along in the water though.

GarageNC has one with a similar powerplant that is peppy so I've heard..
It should go fast enough, I will guess mid-50's. Welcome aboard BTW..

Thanks for the welcoming replies
Been a long time lurker didn't realize that was my first post!

I've been looking at Bennett hydraulic tabs ( I was told they are one of the best)
Any idea on what size?

I'll have to get some Picts ups
Can't seem to do it on my phone
