Does anyone know what the maximun speed the hull could handle.A horizon 190. I have the stock prop, I would love to get the boat going in the low 60 mph range, What prop I would I need to get? Thanks in advance.

Ain't gonna happen. At least not without destroying your engine. You need to run the engine within the recommended WOT range. It's already probably propped for that by FW. You might get a mph or two by going to a SS prop.

If you want to do 60+ mph, get a boat made for it and do it safely. A 190 isn't designed for it.

I agree with what John said. It won't happen with that boat, unless you make engine mods, and a SS stilletto type prop. You may even have to take all the seats out, run with 1/4 tank of fuel to lighten the load. Bottom line, that hull is not designed for that speed, and would not be safe, even if you could make the mod's to get there. Buy a boat that is designed with the proper hull and engine if you want to go that speed.
