I think you may be surprised.  I've personally had this boat (and another 390 with diesels) in my wake and they keep up pretty good.

But never a 342 with massive diesels. Lol

What are the motors? Gear drives??

Well, I'm not sure I've seen either 390 hit 40mph, but I will say they stay easily with me at my cruise speed of 31-33mph (and they aren't topped out yet).  They both had the Volvo Penta D-6.  Only issue that always seemed to be a pain was to raise (or lower) the outdrive, I believe it was the engine had to be off first.  I just remember every year at Rinkervous we have issues getting it started because of the drives.

i try to find out why this boat was sitting on land for 4 years i will have it survey  friday but since boat is sitting for so long any blister or water intrusion  have dry and will be harder to find.
 

Handymans342

Its been sitting because no one appreciates diesels.

A good surveyor can spot blister damage even if no longer wet. And soft spots or voids can be found with a tapping hammer. Some will also use a density meter (kinda like a stud finder) and run it all over the hull.
