WOW- that's very fast !!
That's the fastest I've ever heard of with 150 hp outboard.
As comparison, I have close to 1,000 hp ( ok, 200 HO which is around 218 hp at the prop)
and I'm just under 50 mph.

It runs out nicely. The motor is no slouch. It does seem to be propped perfectly. If it ever quits raining in Pensacola I will be out in the river and bay and take a pic. Boat owning friends are suprised when they are in it on how quick it is. My Step Father has owned 2 v20's and could not believe the performance of the motor and hull combination. Overall it is a great motor for the hull. The only thing I would say negative is the weight does seem to be a bit much when you are loaded with people, coolers, gear etc. I fashioned some removable plugs for the self bailing drains to keep water out. Be careful backing up. A full transom would be perfect.
