Old Skool carbed Black Max 2.4 200......I have a great friend who races outboards and loves these things. He did a rebuild on it for me....he wanted to get crazy, but I had a budget to stick to.

I REALLY wish it was the 3.0 250 block!!

Now THAT'S a sleeper vehicle !

V 20 top speed performance thread is for fun.....

The fastest V was the guy who posted video with the inboard - approx 70 mph top speed.

Would have liked to seen more of it, and use of tabs to eliminate the porposing so it runs flat.

Inboard power is really the best way to create the ultimate " sleeper V boat " .
Transom can only handle X size outboard, and inboard weight further forward balances better.
