Your right. And further more, the Coast Guard ratings are mostly for weight not speed. So what happens if I hang a 200 Honda on a V20? That thing weighs like a 300 2 stroke.
My goal is to have twin 2.5L Mercs. I will probably never see WOT but I will have the advantages of twins. I believe with an extension and a bracket I will get approved for 300Hp. The bracket is built into the boat so strength is not an issue.
