Lots of modification but I cannot think of a better time or better hull to modify.
Wow...that's something I've always wanted to do w/a V20...and while underway, beef it up enough to handle 250 HP....I hope you'll do this and post pics along the way and when finished...wet tests and all...my vote?...GO FOR IT...if I lived closer, I'd come help free!

Just a thought...these boats, to me have forever seemed butt-heavy...occurred to me, you might wanna leave the fuel tank in the front as you extent aft to help offset some of the weight on the stern...especially if yer gonna go up in HP...
