The 21 prop is spun by a 1999 Evinrude 225 High Output, reportedly closer to 250 hp than 225. I think this motor was designed for bass boats with 225 transom ratings. I can get the V20 to about 57 mph on GPS without too much weight in the boat. I cruise at 40 at 4400 rpm's. If I trim it just right, I can get 3 mpg as well.

Trout, when you said 21, I figured big HP, but good gosh, Man... :o...V20 goes to da RACES!!

what year model is your V20...let's see some pics... ;)...

Re: Props
 

it is a 1985 V20. I have some digital pics on my computer, but I don't know yet how to post them. I think I need to load them on a photo site of some sort. I could email them to you if you know how to post pics.

Those 225 HO dyno at 247hp

Re: Props
 

I knew I was close to 250. Thanks for the info. I started a photobucket page. I pics of the boat in action with fish blood, gear, beer, and no fear...and I might find pics of just the boat sitting, begging to run. Should I post here, start a new thread, or gallery? I am going to the How TO section to check out how to start a gallery. That section was helpful for the photobucket direction. Let me try to see if I can import a pic here for a test:

Good luck, Trout...Photobucket's easy...ONCE YOU KNOW HOW...it's the finding out how that's a REAL "Norton Snagger"...Hey Franco!...

Bigshrimpin will fix you up w/ a Gallery... ;D...

Re: Props
 

That sounds great. I requested a gallery last night. I will go check to see if I have any feedback. By the way, take a look at that redfish real good in the pic. Something is missing

Re: Props
 

That red got it's arse bit off! :o ;D Sha, sha, shaaaaark!! ;D

Re: Props
 

Yeah my girlfriend was fighting it for almost ten minutes on fairly light tackle when she felt a stronger tug. She thought the fish got off at first. The red just had more trouble fighting the battle without his propeller. He came right to the net after that. Either he had no more power or he wanted outta dat water!

Re: Props
 

Yeah, that's a bummer when those toothy critters bite off a good fish like that...happened to last king mackeral I caught...did the bite-off affect the slot-limit keeper?... :)...
