Default Bought new to me boat today

Today I purchased a 94 invader 216. It has 350 alpha 1 mercruiser with captains call exhaust. It has benn regelcoated yellow and has checkered stripe on the side. Looks very similar to lpx crownline. We took it out this afternoon and had a blast. It beats the heck out my bass boat. Anyone have any idea what the hp would be? It has a four barrel carb. Anybody know anything about this brand as I haven't seen any others?

Congrats and Welcome to THT!

Yep, like John said around 260 with a 4 barrel on a 350.

Thank you all. It is a big step up from my 1980 bass boat. I lokked at prices of fuel injection. WOW! Maybe the carb isn't so bad after all. Where might I buy a siruis marine radio? We have it in both cars and love it! I love the captain's call exhaust. I leav it thru transom 99% of the time. But it is nice to hear the engine roar. Is 50 mph a normal top speed for this boat? I thought I might get around 60 but 50 is it.
