[StartQuote] Hi Don, I would be really surprised if it could do 25 knots with 2 of those Detroit 3V12's. I say this from having seen the P520, an 85 foot AF Crash Rescue Boat powered located in Long Beach Ca and owned by Bud Tretter. He has installed those same engines and it tops out at about 18-20 knots. They are great engines but they arent that fast and they are also pretty heavy. I sure wish the 486 /109 could get some Packard V12's instead! Jerry PT 658 Portland Jerry Gilmartin[EndQuote]
