How fast can the 233 go with chip tuned twin engines and evt modified hull?

Hi all, I am playing with the thought of getting (another) old 233 I/O, then to restorate the stingers, deck etc and reinforce the entire hull with 2-3 additional woven mats by still keeping her fairly light (by removing wind shields, additional seats, toilet etc) and also basic. After that I had the idea to build 2, lets say Mercruiser 350 MAG Bravo 3 which I could chip tune to reach a speed of 80 Mph and more!
Its not that I am into speed rather than curious about the fact whether its possible to reach such a speed with a 233 or not. And if yes, if the outer hull design needs to be modified or trim tabs are mandatory and also if you would even propose other engines and thoughts like this. I am talking about 2 engines here, but would it be even possible to reach a speed of lets say 70-75Mph with one engine too? Hence whats the ideal combination in terms of 233 hull, safety, do ability and speed.
I know, I kept my description very basic here and it might cause a lot of questions now. But I didn't want to have a long intro assay with so many details.
The aim of this post here is simply to talk about 2 things, hull and engine(s) modi to reach such speed.
Looking forward to your opinions and thank you all in advance.
 
i'd think a 233 could reach your desired speed with a single engine set up if properly tuned and propped ( i could be wrong, just my opinion here). Bravo I might be preferable over a Bravo III set up too, Bravo III not really known to be a speed demon. Definitely would suggest you contact TAG, not sure if that hull was really designed to reach those speeds.
