Re: Expected top end of 83 60 enclosed bridge SF with 12v92s
Those are dry turbos so Im thinking lower HP. The 1100HP is a 12V92TAB and has wet turbos. Id expect around 24Kts WOT with 1100HP 12V92s. Seems a bit slow but a few Ive seen with 12V92s claim that. I have a 65C with 1100hp 12V92TABs and she runs just shy of 27kts WOT. The 65 does seem to get better performance than the 60C.

What Jack said. Some hulls no Mather how much hp you throw at them will only go so fast.

Its true (and no true yachtsman uses MPH). And it doesn't seem to matter how much fuel is in the tanks. She performs the same regardless. I just love how she comes up onto plane. The bow never rises. The whole boat just lifts up. I'd have to say this is one of Jack Hargrave's best designs.
If you ever get up this way, I'm sure Mark would take you for a ride and show you how she performs. Its a just a great boat.Last edited by SKYCHENEY; 10-11-2017 at 09:09 PM.

Can we add a bulbous bow and see if it helps?
It sounds like it does not plane like most of our hearts but rides up on the wave level. Interesting how that's so different from most of the 34 to 52's I know well.Scott

Re: Expected top end of 83 60 enclosed bridge SF with 12v92s
they plane nicely it just needs a lot of HP to get going. The 60C is a very big 60. The engines available were too small for the boat. My 65 is a stretched version of the 60 but runs much better although all the 65s had much bigger engines than the 60s. Im sure a pair of Cats in the 1400HP range would get the 60C running nicely
