Default Re: Land and Sea Dyno Results from the 80's

With the record at 87 mph, I imagine a 20' SeaCraft with triple XS1500 motors turning 7500-7800 rpms could handily beat that. I know personally, that a 1983 20SF with a single Merc 225 on a jack plate, w/ nose cone and low-water intakes, a blueprinted hull, turniong a 14 X 32P over-hub chopper prop has hit 71 mph - with a 28 yr old female attorney at the helm.
Imagine the same boat with triple XS1500 motors producing a total of 660 hp with speedmaster or scimitar lower units.

I think 90+ mph is possible.
