Has anyone hit 60?
Good morning everyone. I ran my v20 for the first time this morning on a good size lake near my house. Flat calm conditions, really no wind, half a tank of fuel and just me onboard. I hit 56mph on the gps without much fiddling around with the trim and the boat has no tabs. I was just wondering if anyone has hit 60? Im by no means a speed demon and i cant say that the boat feels comfortable at that speed. I was just curious if someone had tinkered with trim tabs, motor trim, and props enough to hit 60

Yes with the center console version. 63.1 on GPS is the best I have seen with a light load. I like the speed, don't like the gas guzzler. Never heard of any cuddy's going over 60. 56 is flying.

Wow Ridge thats flat gettin it! I just remembered that was with double oil after the rebuild in the fall. I have not run it with proper oil ratio, that may gain me 1 or 2 mph??
