1990 4.3L v6. The '430' refers to the capacity of the engine, not HP. If you had 430 hp, your transom would be sitting at the bottom of the lake.<br /><br />You got 155hp at the prop although they are rated at 175hp at the flywheel.<br /><br />Aldo

I'd guess 37-40mph tops.. fine for skiing with the right prop
