Yes the drain holes in each corner of the stern and yes the thru hulls they drain out of on the sides are supposed to be above the water line though they do get dunked below when the boat rocks for some reason.

We love the old Yamaha V6 200 Precision Blend that is on our 1987 V.
The boat is so much fun with that much power!:clap:

Let's put a Merc Optimax 300 hp on a V21 and see how fast it goes..............

It is a fuel injected 2 stroke with a 3 star emmision rating---cleaner than 80% of the 4 strokes out there and a bunch lighter.

I would say that you are real close on weight on the 175/200 hp in the 2.6litre engine.

All the Etecs are 2-stroke...w/all the old 2-stroke problems removed!!...

Scuppers are in place to allow water to flow OUT of the boat, while not allowing water to flow IN...

i have a 175 mercury black max premix no oil injection.. and with me my daughter and wife 1/4 tank of fuel the fastest ive seen was 49.2..ive been a marine mechanic for a while and i love the way these boats handle....and the fact i coulnt stuff it if i tried...haha...:beer:
