I looked at a v-20 center console with a 140, and I thought it was powered just right. Boat lept on plane with no trouble, and ran out close to 40. My cuddy had a 1.6l sea drive which was only 115hp at the flywheel, maybe 105hp at the prop, and it had no trouble getting up on plane with a fair load on board. Setup is key, and can make all the difference. Props are not a 1 size fits all, and can make or break any boat.
