Gee..... thanks!!! But since I have the 225 on my V20 I know that the 200 will fit just fine... :p

And, with the money you dont spend on another motor, you can buy a lot of gas.

...IMO this was the best advice that came across on this thread...knowing a motor is BIG!......plus it saved ya 2 grand!!...hard to argue w/DAT!!...

You're about to have a VERY NICE boat on your hands and one that'll hold it's value down the road...

I have a goal in mind... I missed that other V21 by a day and someone not keeping their word.. It was simply a beautiful boat.. one that I still kick myself in the tail for missing out on. So since I couldn't have her, I'm going to build her, but better.... hence the radar arch and the radar. I still need to get an enclosure for her, then the radar arch, and some cushioning for along the rails.. but when I'm done I think she'll look smart and perform the same. And with guys like you around to keep me focused on my goal, how can I miss?
