Looking at a 33 Sportfish with 800 hour Cats that are 270 hp assuming they are non-turbo anyone might know what the cruise speed/top end would be?. TY Bill

I run a 31 sportfish with NA 210 hp 3208's. Loaded heavy with enough crap to stay for a month on an overnight, we make 17/18 knots. Running light we cruise at 19 and can hit 21 WOT. Hope that helps.

In a prior life, I had a 36 Hatteras with CAT 3208s @ 270 HP.
Good engine and not so tweeked that it wants to expode.
The 270 is a turbo engine, the 210 is the natural.
I think they pushed 'em up to 350 HP in some models
