It was strange to see regular duty (smallish) lifters in the Big Chief heads........alot of things Sterling does is a little different.
The boat sat over a year before I purchased it but the motors claimed to have only 15hrs on them.

Lifters on both motors. Broke the bottom off on two of them and metal started making its way around.

Tom builds a 1500 HP 572 Twin-turbo motor. He's got one in a 30' Checkmate that runs close to 120. I declined a ride offered just yesterday! 
With the current rebuilt Zul motors, I'd guess the old resin bucket 41 Apache could hit 100. Add dry-sump 6's and some modern props, perhaps 107.
Add a pair of Tom's motors, maybe 125-130?
I would NOT want to be onboard at that speed! Much over 100 is asking for trouble, IMO.

But you would be up to speed and then back to zero so fast you would even have time to worry
It's Smooth..................very Smooth!
