It looks like we have a very similar hull - from the water's perspective. Mine is 22.5' from the tip of the nose to the back of the hull. 24' to the swim platform. The pad on mine is fairly narrow and still has a bit of a v to it. I probably carry more weight than you since I have (appears to have) more freeboard.
But I bet our hp per mph is quite close. What speed/prop/rpm/weight do you see?
1984 Chaparral 21XLC
Not really a "hot" boat but I do run it offshore, palm beach to key largo , palm beach to lauderdale.
Haven't made the run out to Bimini yet in it (did it once in a 17ft Formula!)
,maybe this summer. not too bad for a 20yr old production 21 footer.
350/300mag, pretty dry ride in up to 2-3 ft seas. No nice
offshore pics yet, have to talk someone into following me out one day to do get some.

That's great speed for a stock 365hp 454Mag! I have high hopes of swinging a 23p 3 blade this summer after the head/intake upgrades currently in the works.
Do you have any engine mods?

Imco exhaust and thats it. Had a hard time last summer pulling the rpm's though. I need to check my timing. I think it may be off now. Probably some timing chain stretch. Haven't checked it in a couple years. Either that or my valve springs are finally going away. The motor is 16 years old so it may be getting due.
