V21 rated for max 200 hp.....so 48 to about 50mph is what you'll mostly see.
V20...they were rated for 225 ? so the Opti report is 52-53 mph. Of course we don't use our V's as speed boats, it's just another topic of conversation. Me....I like running 3,500 - 4,000 cruising on a nice calm ocean, but I also like the 200HO for when I'm in a hurry.....for any # of reasons, and 4,500 - 4,800 and I'm flying right along. I've wasted a bunch of thread time speculating and doing it again now.... How about a 300 on my V21....so if each 50 hp is worth approx 6-8 mph, I'd likely run 60 for sure. Imagine " cruising at 50 " in a V !!! Don't mess up at the wheel or it's the video from the old Wide World of Sports and the agony of defeat for sure !! |

My V21 with it's 200HP Merc regularly did 65-70mph.
(Of course, that's when it was on it's trailer going down Rt 80 or the Parkway). In the water I like to run about 30-35 in the ocean and bay and (Because of debris) less as I go up or down river from my launch point.

I'm going to recommend no more threads about top speed unless you have have pics of your gps and tach or other proof.

Why ? We need to start " proving " what we post ? If I post about my minnow box, need to see a picture ? How about my cup holders ? HAAAHAA But ok........I can take a pic of my GPS recording top speed this coming season. I may charge $ 5 to get to see it though ! :) |
