I was thinking the same thing.

How many ponies does it take to break the 100 mph mark in a 5000 pound boat?

There is a very nice boat speed calculator on Bam marine web site. Believe it! Numbers don't lie, people do. GPS numbers only!
I have a lot of fun with my little bucket of bolts.
Btw. Answer is very close to 1000hp with everything right.kn

Just a little additional note to my last post. Horsepower isn't really what you are looking for when trying to go fast in a boat. It is torque numbers. To quote Carroll Shelby... Horsepower sells, Torque wins races.

I guess that's why they say there is no replacement for displacement. Big motors make a lot of torque. Thanks KN.
