What is the top speed of my Edel 540 on the water in perfect conditions?
Best answer will include any and all math used to come up with the hull speed and any research found (like scores in races and such)

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I wasn't able to find the official tech specs for your boat (at least not the max speed ones), but I found someone that did 6.5 knots on it:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x the square root of the LWL (LWL: length of the hull at the waterline).
So 1.34 x square root of 14.8 = 5.1 knots
