To push a kona mini to 100 it's going to take more than a 455. Were talking a 21' (or so) standard vee. I've been in a few flat bottoms that have a hard time passing 80 with a built 468. Is it a jet, V-drive or a stern? I doubt that this guy knows what it will do. Find out what drive style it has and what impeller/propeller size is in it and I can be more specific.

As for Ken Belle, the man knows his stuff, but unless the owner can prove without a doubt that he's the engine builder treat it as a 455 built by roger rabbit.
