I had an 83 with a 150 Merc black max and the best I ever got was 34 but it had bottom paint..Sounds like you got a good deal and you will not regret buying a v20 but there are some small design flaws in my opinion that you will have to live with. One thing that I would recommend is take a close look at the scupper drains and the through hull fittings etc..they tend to crack along with the hoses and leak but its no big deal to fix . Frank
