One of our members here would disagree with you. Somebody here tryed a 225 HONDA on a V-20 CC and it was FAR too much weight on the transom. The boat had a surprisingly slow top speed, and poor handling characteristics.

The 225 weighed 610 lbs. Can you say, "thru hulls underwater"?

if the hull is a selfbailer then it might be a problem. i have 750 off the back of mine and it really runs well, BUT, that is thanks to the trim tabs and IMO, if you take your boat into the ocean, gulf, large lakes, trim tabs are without a question a must have.
