All, The Enterprise-A was a 1978 C&C 34. The original Yanmar 20HP got her to 6.4 knots (Warp 6.4) with a folding prop.
The best way to maximize your speed is keeping your bottom clean. Have your boat dived on regularly. During the warmer months, when growth excels, we clean once a week. I think this thread started with the notion of a repower. As someone going through this process now, I would highly recommending against it until you absolutely have to.

My 1982 34' c/b with a 3GMF20 ,martec folding cruises the same as Legacy III about 5.5 to 6 max around 3100rpm. When I first got the boat and brought it up to NJ from Annapolis she had a 2 blade sailor and cruised to 7knots pretty easily.

From: cnc-list@cnc-list.com CC: chuckbo...@gmail.com Hi Brian, After seeing Legacy's speed with a 3GM, I feel less bad about our speed. I've got a 1978 34 with a 2QM20 and get right around 5.5 with a Mar-Tec folding prop, too. I though she was under-powered, but I guess not. I try not to run wide-open, so I can only guess we'd get to 6kts. Good news she sips diesel fuel.
