Be aware, heavy 4-strokes don't work well on these hulls. They were designed with lighter power in mind as that is what was available at the time. I'm not saying it won't work as many would say the 250 I run won't work. Shhhhh- just don't let it hear you say it...

Happy to hear that! I just bought myself a 1989 V20F-CC with a nice and bulky Mercury 250 EFI and I'm very curious to test the performance next summer!
What prop du u use? I have a 21" SS High-five but I'm thinking about changing to 3-blade?
