Speed Query

Anyone any idea what kind of top speed you could expect out of say a 5.5m Tornado or XS with something like a 90hp Opti on the back loaded with 4 divers plus gear? I know type of prop etc would make a difference but really only looking for a guide. Would it be slow or would you expect some decent performance from it?

Ta.
