She is a strong runner, cruises the boat at 28-32 at 3400 rpm depending on load. When I pull the plugs there is always a nice clean burn on all plugs. Can't ask for much more on an 17 year old motor thats all original.
The only thing that I find weird on this hull more than my previous V20 is that she is a counter rotation motor and that she lists to starboard pretty noticeably under power from torque of engine. Sits dead level at rest.
Is that common with all V's with torquey engine power?

If you have a lefty for an engine, then yes she will list pretty good the opposite way. Boats origanally put the driver on the starboard side to counteract the engines torque from the prop. By running a counter rotater the engines torque will actually push the heavier side down even more. Trim tabs would take care of it though, and are a good investment on most any planing hull.
