Depends on what engine. I think they put Volvo 200 hp in those. A few had smaller Volvos. Anyway, with 200hp, I would say 14kt cruise with about a 17kt top speed. Enjoy. Those are awfully pretty little boats.

John is exactly on. Ours had a Chrysler gas (275 HP) and it topped out
at 18 if lightly loaded. The boat felt very good at 13 - 14 K, but the
audible gurgle of gasoline was disconcerting. Mostly we ran at 8 K
which was very relaxed and quiet (about 1800 revs as I recall) and
burned little fuel. It certainly did get attention here in the PNW
where such things are rare. The new owner has repowered with a diesel,
don't know what variety.
