I'm doing low 60's in my 5.7 19.5" and it tracks straight. A little
squirley in light chop at that speed. Definately not a boat for rough water
though, pounds like hell. I think with a little more prop I could get to
65. Or a blower :-)

Which creates drag and partially defeats the purpose of more hp.

It is really fom the prop. You would be turning a lot bigger pitch prop
than stock which will pull on the boat more than the hull can support.

Easily fixable with trim tabs in my experience.
