I topped her out once, I think it was low to mid 40s MPH Cruise at 31 MPH at around 4400 RPM Turning a 14 1/4 X 17P Solas stainless prop. Awesome fuel consumption and it will scare you how little oil it uses. I love the 150 and its a great match for the V-20, but if I were to do it again I'd hang a 200 just because I like a little more top end cruising speed sometimes. I have a 19P prop I could use, but I love the 17 when idling and manuvering around docks etc. The ETECs idle at 500 RPM. I'm trying to sell off all my junk to hang a 90 ETEC on my Carolina Skiff. Right now my skiff with a 90 two stroke Tohatsu burns about as much as the V-20 with a whole lot less hull weight, only 12 gallons of fuel versus 55 gallons in the V-20, and much more efficient hydrodynamics.
