The mother of all HP Questions

[Para]

Any V20 its a hull and it needs a motor to shove it through the water

1) How fast? We all get a bonah over the max speed over water. from a 150 hp 2 stroke to a 250 hp 4 stroke (maybe even a 300 ?)....and the HP to swing a various prop, etc.

2) How slow? If you like fishing, you need a dead-slow troll maybe 5 mph or even less. not so sure alot of 2 strokes can go that slow

3) Fuel consumption

4) Fresh water, water skiing, tubing....torque = 4 stroke?

The inboard engine ones of old SEEMED like a good option 10 yrs ago. Those old silver Honda 2 Strokes were only a few years old back then and they cost a Fortune. The only other option was a 4 stroke I/O...whats the hot setup now?
