Some are rated for 235HP, and once you go over 20 feet I'm pretty sure they can't hold the USCG reccomendation against you. Once you cross over 20 feet regs regarding max HP changes. When I had my HYDRASPORT all they cared about was what was on it, not what it was rated for when I got insurance on it.

Liability, medical and property damage insurance. If you have an accident with injury, an attorney will contest the boat's overpowered. I've owned two V20's and both had plaques with max hp ratings. It's a personal decision. Therm is right, the older V20's were rated for 235 hp.

I've heard that the rating went up to 200 or 225 when wellcraft raised the transom to 25".

Progressive specifically asked me "how fast does it go?" LOL! Not fast enough. There is no insurance for mine at the present.
