It only has 40 hrs on it, but I really like my Yamaha 4 stroke economy. I don't know if I'm ready to go back to 1-2 mpg. You'll love the V20. Good luck and if I can help you, let me know. I've rebuilt 2 of them. This site is great for help and a good bunch of guys.

Thanks, that Privateer IS a very solid boat, but another draw back that they pound a lot, same as the skiff. My cousin had one, an old model in the 80's and we took that boat everywhere, you can throw whatever mother nature wants to this boat and it will not budge, but you should have a chiropractor in the family, otherwise you gonna end up with a huge bill.
