Looking for the speed of this boat with a 1993 johnson 8hp short shaft
pics are here
pics are here
How fast can this boat go with an 8hp motor?

Apart from the obvious lack of information to base any answer on
1, assuming we are talking displacement rather than planing hull, there are widely available formulae for calculating hull speed based on waterline length. Google should find it for you.
2, within reason, the HP of the engine has little impact on the speed. There were several theads recently on minimum/maximum HP for a given size of boat. A little digging will give you the guidance you want.
Hope this helps.

Oooh, I would say about this fast _____________.
(Seriously, you might get a more sensible answer if you gave a bit of information -- waterline length and displacement would be a good starting point.)

just for once, and it won't be a habit..I agree
alleyn, do you need help with posting pics? Some basic details about the boat would help a lot
