Thanks dude. It seems they are very random with their speeds and power.

Was speaking with someone and they claimed the old Team V 38' will run 100 with 600 hp? The boat has no cabin and such but that would be fast.

'03 TS Gun "Out of Control" is back in Miami. Phil is tweaking it and he believes the boat will run more than the 105mph posted in Powerboat Mag....
105mph - 750 Zul's with Bravo's....

Got to think 920 hp was auto trader hp not dyno hp. I have a pair of 500hp motors with pro chargers that dynoed at 745hp ,so I would think that number is a lot closer to what your working with . Good luck !

Cold water is also more dense and therefore makes the boat go faster because of better buoyancy.
And If its the Moscow River we are talking about well it´s fresh water so during summertime it makes boats go a lot slower than in saltwater.
