V21 rated for max 200 hp.....so 48 to about 50mph is what you'll mostly see.

V20...they were rated for 225 ? so the Opti report is 52-53 mph.

Of course we don't use our V's as speed boats, it's just another topic of conversation.
Me....I like running 3,500 - 4,000 cruising on a nice calm ocean, but I also like the 200HO for when I'm in a hurry.....for any # of reasons, and 4,500 - 4,800 and I'm flying right along.

I've wasted a bunch of thread time speculating and doing it again now....
How about a 300 on my V21....so if each 50 hp is worth approx 6-8 mph, I'd likely run 60 for sure.

Imagine " cruising at 50 " in a V !!! Don't mess up at the wheel or it's the video from the old Wide World of Sports and the agony of defeat for sure !!
