Re: Is a 1982 V20 cuddy with a Yam 4 stroke 115 ok
 

I have a V20 with a 112 Johnson Special and with 2 people and full of fuel I get about 26 MPH WOT.

the yamaha 115 four stroke is a weak motor . . . stay away. 115hp @ WOT going 26mph will consume more fuel than a 200hp two stroke at a 35mph cruise.

With a Johnson 115 I cruise at 4200 rpm at 23-26 mph and top out lately around 33-34 mph......on a bracket.

What do you plan to use the boat for. Everyone myself included always talk about top end or how fast. I don't know anyone that runs a wot all the time. If it's going to be a fishing boat and you fish conditions where you don't have to out run an approaching storm, a 115 would be just fine. Billy Mac ;D

If you get it at a good price that makes it even better.

Let me introduce you to my friend SKOOL'S OUT.

Skools doesn't run WOT all the time, what are you kidding me? He doesn't have to. Half throttle for him is 40 + ;D

It depends on what you want...if reliability means more than performance, you'll have that 8) ...

Like Whale my 115 does 30 to32 knots WOT depending on the load. The motor is on a bracket which helps. Where I fish most of the time I can't run her wide open anyway because I don't like to get the s#$% beat out of the boat and my butt.
