part ordered

Glad you chose teak, it's not that bad.
I'm a woodworker at heart & although teak is a bit hard to work with it lasts almost forever. I refinished mine when I bought the boat 12 years ago, & they...

200hp
I have an 87 v20 with a merc 200 & I have most of the troubles you refer to. I understood the v21 deck was a bit higher to fix just these problems.
BTW mine will do 45 on GPS wide open.
