Only my opinion but a A1 will easily handle 300hp. Definitely no hole shots.
I had a 1987 Minx. I changed the cam from stock 260/270 go to the cam used in the Merc tempest 300/320hp engine.
With stock engine/cam and 23p Mirage 3blade saw 62/63mph at 4500-4600. With hp bump 64-65mph at 4700-4800rpm.
Original Alpha 1 drive with nose cone. Nose cone was worth about 2mph when perfectly fared smooth no bumps or chips in bondo and paint. No issues with 300hp and alpha 1.
You may get more replies if you post in the Donzi performance category rather than under videos.

I ran an Alpha 1 gen2 putting about 370 hp to it with no problem. Didn't do hard hole shots. Not sure about the gen1.
