Wow 5200?

I ran a 350 Mag with a 19 pitch to get my 20 foot Celebrity to 5200.

A guy I worked with sold his Donzi and gave me a 23 pitch Rapture wheel.

That dude would do 63 MPH at 4100 RPM chine walkin' the whole time!

It was pure scary on his Donzi, he had a stroker with Dart heads,Gill exhast and the Bravo (1.33:1) out drive.

He got her to 80MPH before he ran out of Huevos.

All depends on the boat.....a friend of mine has a 30' Suttfin offshore race boat.....with two 454GMs cammed heavy and two fours on each...80mph in a 3 foot chop is totaly comfortable...stihl talk. My boat is a 20' Seaway with a new fuel injected roller cam and lifter 4.3 GM V6 which is about all this hull shape is good for powerwise...probably be in the mid 40s once I find the right prop....good sea boat though...deep entrance...high bow.....

3 foot seas is a gale around here.
I like it glass smooth, that Donzi was a low slung speedster, my Celebrity was pretty deep (by inland standards)

That was a true 80 on GPS and he ran out of huevos, not the stroker!

3 foot seas would have nearly sunk that Donzi!

Bear hunt was a bust. rode about 6 hours, walked around for about a hour. Hunted 2 hours, rained from 3-4 Made the call and left at 5 haha. Back home last night at 1030. So basically 500 Mile road trip to end up back home. hard to still hunt 50000 acres and hope to find a bear. Oh well. Found a nice place to camp and maybe try my hand at trout fishing. What I need, another hobby!

And yippe yi yay mother truckers! haha carryin around the .44 mag with 8 3/8 barrel for my backup in a shoulder rig.

That's why I said it all depends on the boat.....boats usually have a design purpose...and most are a compromise of several factors.....Suttfin was built as an offshore racer..120mph +- in full racing form...no other use....this one was the first Suttfin ever built for recreation not racing...friend ordered it.....about a quarter mill.....just fer fun!!!! This thing will do 60 mph in a 4' chop and you can stihl drink a beer.......but only at the helm and nav stations...center of pitch.....aft of that and the ride is not quite as good LOL!!
