I'm pretty sure a MERC 280HP 2.5L would push a V20 up into the 60 MPH spectrum. Then again the V20 is a fishing boat so why do you need to push it that far? The only reason I built up my 225 on my HYDRA was for economy, the added grunt was just a bonus. I knew that the lower cruise RPM's on that big looper would help keep the fuel sucking in check, and the porting let's it wind up easier as well to help out. The 225+HP at the prop is just a bonus for when I need to rocket the boat fully loaded on plane in 15 inches of water.
