Offshore, Here is what I think you will see with the correct prop -
Miminum planing speed: 12-15 MPH
Max. Speed: (no tee top, light load) 32-34 mph
Max. Speed: Tee top, 6 tanks, dive gear etc.) 28-30 mph
Fuel burn: 6 GPH @ 4,000 rpm = 22-24 MPH (4 MPG)
Miami to Bimini - 15-18 gallons.
You will not have a race boat, however that is the weight motor the 20' SeaCrafts were originally designed for
- so just sit back a R-E-L-A-X.

Check with Fr. Frank, Tiny, Capt Terry, Denny, Tom Paris and others to see what they think. End to end that crew would have surpassed Magellan's circumnavigation with their 115 HP powered SeaCrafts. Lots of data with them to "adjust" my preliminary input.
