Re: hull speed?
Do some reading over in the I/O section regarding horsepower additions. MOst will say don't waste any money on a 5.0, but that mods to a 5.7 might be worth a little. Read up on Reversion which is sucking water into the intake due to valve overlap and severely limits cam choices and hence limits typical street mods you may be used to.
In your case you need to focus on proper trim, weight balance, and then dialing in the correct prop. This assumes that the engine is running properly.
FWIW, we try to keep this section free of engine stuff. Very difficult as proper oepration (trim, balance etc.) does belong here. So the way I see it is: General discussion, here. Resulting focused discussions on the prop, prop section. Resulting focused discussions on the engine, I/O section etc. Good luck!
