Re: Watchout RAP!  Another Honda out there
 
Hey Jackman, just wanted to run something by you, I have a Robalo 1820 center console with a Merc 150 500lbs. when I would drift in any chop with that boat water would splash up inside the splash well pretty good but would drain right out with each bob up and down, but my scuppers were not below water line when it was at rest. I would be a little concerned in any heavy water if your scuppers are below water line even at rest. I maybe wrong with the v20's but IMHO that would have me concerned

Thanks for the warning. There are 2 batteries in the starboard rear area - I was thinking about moving them up front - did that on my 1996 OMC Neptune 18' CC - seemed to help a lot. Of course, I could put a nice 120# blonde up front to help level things out too - haha - but where could I find one??

I run a 14 1/2 x 17 w/ a 150 hp Mercury (4 blade ss). You might be able to make your boat fly with a different pitch prop.
