Don't remember the ratio, but remember hearin' same thing about cars...once to 100 mph, takes 10 additional HP to increase 1MPH...or somethin' like that...


...an' I'm not sure I buy into a hull having a "Max Speed"...maybe max EFFICIENT speed...but let's say a given hull speed maxes out w/ 150 hp and you strap on a jet engine ... I think it's gonna out run the 150 ;) ...
