Default Got my first V20, She's a beauty

Found this 1990 Dual Console that has seen little use over it's life. The Black Max had not been run since 2011 and to my surprise it fired right up. Took it out once with the 150 Black Max and love it so far. Paid 3700 and have since sold the Black Max for 1700 to make way for a new 150 Mercury 4 Stroke. Hopefully the 4 stroke will perform just as well or better than the 2 stroke. Thankfully the transom was solid as a rock when I took the Black Max off. I think it was a great deal for a great boat and will hopefully be a red snapper and cobia catching machine.

CONGRATS. Don't see to many of the dually's. The 4 stroke will weigh a bit more, won't have the same grunt out of the hole(a 2 stroke has twice as many power pulses per crank revolution than a 4 stroke, and you're going from a 6 to a 4 cylinder engine to boot), but will probably get close to double the milage. Once you get it propped right, I'm sure you will be VERY happy with it.

Thanks, love the bow on this model, it's huge. I found this while looking to replace my old Chris Craft 211 Scorpion. They're very similar hulls. I'm hoping that after I add some hyrdaulic trim tabs it rides as good as the Chris Craft did.

I suspect you'll find that it rides better than the CC
