Look at the Kilo records, the K boats are running in the 140's with what 1500-1700hp. What could they do with another 1000hp? I mean how fast can they go? Take away the distance limits and turn them loose. Seems to me they're pretty close to that limit.
Either or... I dont know much at all about the early days, I'm just curious where the realistic line is for a flattie hull... At mid 150's TheGuru makes them look like they are on rails from the rope to the 1000'...
