Re: 1964 Currituck 16 100-HP
Assuming:
I would expect a WOT speed of 40 to 43-MPH.
- --clean bottom
--dry hull
--light load
--more than 85-percent of original compression
--properly mounted and rigged with an appropriate propeller
I would expect a WOT speed of 40 to 43-MPH.

With PTnT I would add another 5mph to that estimate.
