Make sure you take that Bimini top off before you get it all revved up. Hah

That calculator doesnt really account for slip so its a little optimistic but close.

Also idk how light that boat is, but I had a maxum that went over 60. It didn't chine walk bad and handled it pretty well. The only problem I found is when going that fast and hit much of a wave it would get air under the nose and start picking it up. It would lift enough you had to back off the throttle slowly or it would flip. 20 foot open bow boats are usually pretty light so just be careful to get to know it when it's done.
