Matt, it runs at 30knots, (55kmh) 5400rpm with 3 people and gear, full of fuel, 120litres.
Usually cruise about 25kts at (46.5kmh) at 4500rpm
I have a 4 blade prop though, slightly lower pitch for fishing creeks and runoff around the blue holes etc, much better for backing up, and stops much quicker when it gets put in reverse. Also can keep on the plane easier at lower revs for trolling.
Probly get a bit more speed easily with a 3 blade and bigger pitch.
The old Savage bluefin, 7metre has a 150hp Honda 4stroke, it cruises at 20kts easy at about 4200rpm, cuts through the water nice, had it up to 28kts, but chews the fuel then!!
