I know my Dauntless 15 has a different hull configuration than you are questioning, but with same approx length, a dry weight of 850 lbs., and a 60 hp 2 stroke, my Dauntless jumps on plane in less than 4 seconds with 4 adults and gear.

I'm running a 12" x 11 pitch stainless Stiletto prop, cavitation plate is 1 1/2" above the keel line and have a Dole Fin installed. WOT GPS speed is just under 34mph at 5100 rpm. However, even with the added lift of the low pitch prop, and the fin, the boat is prone to porpoise with only two aboard in the helm seat. I normally run with the motor trimmed in most of the way.
