41 experts needed. Power question

[fund razor]

Straight bottom Apache 41 pleasure, side by side. Number 6 drives.

How fast would it be with newer tech/higher end but normally aspirated 540s, let's say 650hp/side?

Just curious. So many people use them as wave crushers but don't compete with them.
Wondering how truly essentially blowers would be to the pleasure market.

I'll make a guess: 70mph.

[DrGaryDC]

I would say max 75mph

[Buoy]

I see where this could be going...

But, I'll answer your question with a question. How fast is a 28 with the same power and Bravo I drives?

[Buoy]

Should I also ask "how much will it cost to add ~20' to a concrete slab in a backyard"

[Buoy]

About 900 bucks.

Don't sell yourself short.

[Buoy]

Don't sell yourself short.

You're like 6'4"
I'm only 5'11"

[Buoy]

I would guess low 70's.
72-3 reliable, in damn near any conditions.
Add blowers... Low 80's at a mild boost.

I agree with Tim

[Buoy]

I agree with Tim

We've never met in person. I might only be 5'4"

[fund razor]

I'm 6'6". I thought you were 6'2" but maybe you were looking up at something.

Like most, I'm bigger on the Internet.

It was a nose joke.

Oh yeah, and badder!!!!!!

The Scorpion, with 633hp Haltech 540's, Huber 1450's, and TRS's is 76 best. I'd have to believe you're looking in the same range. Blueprint the bottom and the drives, maybe pushing 80, but I wouldn't bet on it.....

As a true 41 Apache expert emailed; crash boxes or transmissions? Dry sump 6's, or wet sump? And, the weight on 41's varied tremendously, so what is the weight of the one we are discussing?

I forget his name but there is one up in Boles with NA motors, If I remembe right he said low 70's. I remmber doing a poker run with Ean and Donna in the BT, we werent racing but we were defintly cruising a little faster

I remember that couple from a Leopa run. It's all white with a mural on the deck?

I also think that I remember doing 75 on Ian's 43.
