Those would be Gen V 454's that might have been injected or carbed and 260hp to 330hp, so with that sized boat the stock engines might see 70 on a good day.
Suggest you add rebuild $$ into you budget with this one - may as well do both while you are at it, IMHO. Then you can go as fast as your wallet will allow

In my younger days, I was quite often on the job at 6.00am, then would get up at 7.30am. Nowadays my wife prefers evenings, and the occasional sunday morning!
