Re: Top Speed??
r-a-p ;D like things getting sucked into a jet engine? I know from experience, those old Johnson/Evinrude's were gas hogs. I had an '86 Evinrude 225 Hp on a 22' Grady-White and I'd have to take out a loan every time I went fishing. And, gas prices weren't nearly what they are now.
My Wellcraft with the 150 Yamaha is extremely efficient compared to everything else I've owned. I've estimated it at WOT to burn 16-18 gals/hour. At cruise speed or less, I can fish all day long on 15-20 gallons depending on how far I go. Sometimes alot less.

Re: Top Speed??
Bigirishk, I just noticed you added a new pic of your up and running v20 to your gallery. Looks great :). I love the way these boats look without bottom paint. Kind of wish mine hadn't been bottompainted. I was gonna take it off, but I have been hearing that a dark painted bottom raises fish better than a white hull. A lot of it has already flaked off where it sat in the sun this summer, so now it looks like I have a school of baby bunker painted on my bottom. We'll see ::)

Re: Top Speed??
I also want a white bottom!! My paint has been falling off for years now and it is going to need help for it to all fall off. I want to do it but I don't want the messy Job!! I wish i had the $$ to have someone to do it for me.
still trying for 250!!

Re: Top Speed??
I wanted to strip all the anti fouling paint off mine as well. I worked on it for a while, scraping off and on for a couple weeks. I finally said enough is enough. Got it cleaned up pretty good and repainted. Looks nice now. I wasn't trying to completely restore to new gelcoat appearance anyways. Just wanted to smooth it out and clean up the appearance.

Re: Top Speed??
As soon as you guys send in your donations for a new digital camera! ;D Rumor has it, the first one to get to 250 postings gets a new camera and I have to beat out my buddy MJ. ;D ::)
Just kidding. My camera went toast on me earlier in the season. I'll have to get a new one but I spent so much on boat and fishing stuff this year. :P And, I need a job. I'll borrow my brother's camera this weekend.
