My 36 foot cat with a pair of 1000's, number VI dry sumps with 1:33 gears and 17 1/2 35, 5 blades, runs 153 on GPS. Yours should easily run in the high 130's. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

Hey Merlin540 - Using your hull and a pair of 900SC in my power vs. speed program I get 145 mph with that pitch and ratio. Assuming ideal slip of 5%, that would happen at 6000 RPM.
There have been a few 32s built with 800SC, but it seems to me they were often quickly traded in by their owners for 36 Skaters. Wasn't there a 32 in a magazine last year with 1000+ HP going 150? Scary.
If you could send me more info on weight, engine specs and speed with original engines and props, I could fine tune my prediction.
Wicked ride man!
