I saw 75 with TRS.
78.6 with Konrads.
Fastest was downhill with the dually full of fuel.
Good luck with your project.
Also the motors ran for 700+ hours before it threw a rod from what I heard. Flawless

These hulls are terribly inefficient, they ride bow high and you cant use a bunch of trim to get them out of the water as they tend to plow upward instead of pushing forward. I got my n/a 540s to 82 at 5800. I personally think it takes a crazy amount of power to pass that 75mph mark, 50 or 100 wont make much of a difference. 23p props will kill the cruise, if it were me, I would leave the 25s on it and advance the cams 4 deg and just settle. Im still working out the bugs on my new combo, props are difficult to find for #3 so im kind of limited. I have run 89 to date with 40 more cube, way better heads and 10-71 blowers! I was hoping to eventually see 100 but I doubt that will happen, should be a solid low-mid 90s boat

Im running 6# of boost right now, I think they are making a little better than 900 in this trim. Drives are #3 mounted 4.5" from bottom. Im currently running 17.5 x 31 3 blades but have a ton of slippage ( over 20%)
