I'm no scientist or anything close, but it's not "Maximim" speed. It's hull speed or wave speed or some other term, but not MAXIMUM speed. Hull speed is not a synonym maximum speed. Saying maximum speed just confuses these threads. Hull speed may be the max speed for the current configuration or the realistic max speed, but it's certainly far from the actual maximum speed.

Thank you for clarifying that. I always thought that "hull speed" was a speed beyond which that hull could not possibly go, even with more power added.
