I see you run a 225, how do you like it?, I'm guessing it's a screamer!, any pics or video?

Yep I've got my 225 mounted on my 20 foot HYDRA-SPORTS and she runs pretty good. Then again mine is ported, bored 40 over, decked heads, and carbon fiber reeds, so she's a bit more potent than a regular 225. My boat weighs almost a 1k pounds more than a V-20, but I can still hit 53 or so with a moderate load and half a tank of fuel and 46-48 FULLY loaded down. I would also put new stats in it while you have it apart. It can't hurt and yopu're already in there, so might as well do em.
