Is a single F350 enough for a Freedom 275?

Thinking about buying a used Freedom 275 with a single Yamaha F350. Will it be enough power? Will the boat pop up on plane, cruise at 30+, and top out at 45+?

I remember that moving from a 225 to a 250 on my Pursuit 2470 made a difference. I would hate to buy a Grady and feel like it was working hard to move.

Check it on GW website but I think the max hp for that boat is Tween 200's. If you don't mine having one engine she should be fine .
Cruise at 30 mph around the 4000 rpm I would think and max should be close to 45 mph.

Thanks @wrxhoon! It is weird Grady doesn't put a single 350 performance test on the site when that (was? is?) the standard configuration.
