Default Re: Any V20 Speedboats??

When my engine was new and I had a VERY clean bottom, speedo said we were doing 50. I can still get her up in the mid-40s with a light load. In order to do that I usually have to trim the engine up quite a bit, which makes the ol' PD feel pretty squirrelly, especially in a chop. Probably trim tabs would fix that. Now I don't know what you consider a speed boat, but for me that's PLENTY speedy. She really feels the best anywhere between 28 and 40 mph.

Remember the guy with the V-20 for sale who said it would do 80? ::)
