I just bought a 19 foot California Performance w/ a 468. I got 73.1 MPH on GPS. I had gas filled to the rim (24 gallons) and two people in the boat approx. 400 pounds. The boat has logs on it too. I figure if I was by myself and no fuel it would easily hit 75 MPH. How much speed do you guys think I would gain if I put thru transom Bassett headers on the boat.

How much you pick up depends on how stock your engine is. My friends Tahiti picked up 3.2 mph going from stock logs to OVER transom headers on a 450 hp 455. I've seen completely stock 330 hp 454's pick up fractions of that. More power you make (heads, cam, compression, intake etc) the more you'll pick up.
