New at this forums, I own a 1982 16ft centery (5 meter river boat) This boat came stock with a 470 (4 cylinder) with an alpha1 gen1 mercruiser outdrive. Now I have replaced the motor with a 320hp v-8 the boat has through hull exhaust and I aslo replaced the outdrive gears to 1:50. I currebtly have a ballistic propwith a 22 pitch. M y question is, any body have an Idea on how fast this boat will run? Iwould love to hear any info on this if possible!
thank guy

At 4800 rpm and 15% slip you should be around 56 mph
