33 Powerplay speeds with 600hp
Anyone have any experiance with this hull? I know this hull is not the fastest, but what kind of realistic speeds should I expect to see with a solid 600Hp per side in a 94 33 Powerplay sportdeck? Would my expectations be too high if I was thinking mid to high 80s?
Thanks,
Frank

I think it was a '96 but the bottom design through that period was the same so unless it was layed up with a different material any 33 from that era should be very similar.

Scott Utah's F2 33 Powerplay with HP500's ran around 83mph. Another couple 100hp should put you at 90+ @ WOT. With today prop technology and if the bottom and drives are really good you should do a little better.

I had a 1997 33' Powerplay race model (3 man bolster) with staggered HP 500's-- she ran around 84mph top speed with 3 blade Mirage's.
I think with 600's you should be in the high 80's- low 90's. I can tell you that it's a BADA$$ hull for sure!
