Paul-

Enjoy it. I've heard of 2 496 repowers, and both from what I was told were able to hit 40 knots or close. Best thing is you'll be able to cruise in the mid 20s without stressing the motors (I agree with Capt. Pat--want a go fast, get a go fast--cigarettes are nice). I've got a friend with an '04 31 Tiara with 496s (runs great) that came with a data sheet showing speed and fuel burn at various rpms. I don't know if you're installing a Floscan, but it'd be nice to know with those motors where your optimum fuel/cruise speed is...I guess I could get a copy of that sheet to you if you want it. With my 454s, I just run between 2800 and 3000 because I can't stand to go any slower and at about 3200 the secondaries start to open (don't want that). All in all, sounds great.
