1,000 hp inboard. Figure 80mph before boat lifts, spins, crashes and disintegrates.

These V's aren't meant for extreme speed. Seems that 50 is completely comfortable under proper conditions, and 60 + do able with near perfectly flat conditions.

i used to work at a shop making hardtops t-tops canvas etc. we did some reupohlstry on a 28' open water speed boat, had twin supercharged 1200hp 454's. dont want to go that fast, but if a boatmotor is like a car, building one for more power means you could turn a larger more aggressive prop and achieve a comfortable cruising speed at a significantly lower rpms therefore extending the life of the engine. you only hit 80 lift spin and dissintegrate if you push it. although i cant say i wouldnt use it if i had it. i figure im only alive becuase i been too broke to spend the money and do something stupid
