Whats the "best hp" for a V 21 ?

[Parrot6909]

I have a v21 with a Honda 150. I took her out today, running against wind and tide, 2 kids, my svelt 220lb frame, Bimini and full fuel. Cruise was 25, almost WOT ~ 5000 Rpms was 36 mph on the gps. I think trimmed out and wide open I can do 40, still trying to play with my set-up. Overall I love it. Just be careful with the weight, my scuppers are halfway under the waterline in my slip.
