F36 hull speed and height from waterline?

Post by Struts and Rudders »

Hello fellow F36 owners,
As you may know we're doing a refit on our basket case 1980 F36.
I was curious if you could tell me the hull speed, rpm and fuel burn at hull speed?
I would also like to know the height from the true waterline to the top of your bimini or hardtop.
Best guess will do.
Please post the engine specs for your rig.
Thanks,
SRD

I find the hull speed to be just below 8 knots or so around 8 the boat starts to push water .
