Re: Is a 1982 V20 cuddy with a Yam 4 stroke 115 ok
BS, define weak motor. I have a 115 four stroke Yamaha on a 23 Carolina Skiff semi v and I top out at 42 mph. That's what I got with my 86 V and a 2000 150 hp Merc. My results were the same performance that yamaha got testing a 115 on a 24' Carolina Skiff. If you mean a 115 and a V20, yea, ok, however I don't believe a 115 Yamaha is a weak motor. On their test boat (CS) @ 4000 rpm, 28 mph @ 7.2 mpg and @ wot 42 mph and 4.4 mpg. I've owned two v20's and loved them both, but I needed more space and I got tired of fighting the listing problem with several people onboard. I've also seen 115's with over 3000 hrs on them with no major repairs. Just my $.02
