Our 2000 - 210 w/ 230hp 350 mercrusier runs 46mph @ 4600rpms with ski prop and runs 50+mph w I think a 19 pitch, now thats on speedo not gps.
So with 320hp she should really run. Good luck!

My friend had a boat exactly like yours with a 350 Alpha (not the magnum) and his ran about 50 mph. This was before GPS but when the boat was new. He sold it in the early 90's.
