BLUE:

MY FRIEND JUST CALLED ME, HE HAS A PAIR OF 225HP
MERC OPTIMAX (2001) AND ONE 150HP MERC. (1999)

DO YOU THINK A 225 HP WILL BE OK OR TOO MUCH POWER?

Re: V21
 

I am pretty sure the v21s are rated to hold up to 200hp. Ironically, I seam to recall the v20s can have up to a 225. In addition to HP, also make sure that the weight of the engine is ok too. The v21 has scuppers that drain out of the cockpit and too much weight will bring water into it.

wieght can be a factor but, you can never have too much horsepower!

Re: V21
 

Well, you can get 42 - 45 + mph outta the 150 propped right, so question is do you think thats enough? I personally would opt for the 150 over the 225 but thats just me. Low 40s is enough for me and the 150 doesn't seem that thirsty.

Re: V21
 

THE MOST I WOULD LIKE TO GO IS 200 HP, I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE 175HP BUT IT'S WHAT'S AVAILABLE EITHER 225HP 2001 OR 150HP 1999.

HOWEVER I RECALL READING COMENTS OF MEMBERS WITH 225HP V-20'S

ANYHOW, FOR ME 42MPH IS ENOUGH, OUT AT THE GOLFSTREAM YOU CAN'T GO THAT FAST ANYWAYS AND IN THE BAY, DOWN HERE, YOU WILL NOT IMPRESS ANY OF THE BIG BOYS AT 50 MPH
