Yellow does seem to fit well with the Sea Craft's - and you have a nice looking one!

What motor are you currently running ?

for what it's worth, I've got an 84 Johnson 115 on my 20' Seafari, and in gps measured mph, she tops out at 30, with a nice cruise at 23-24, and a very soft slop cruise at 18, she runs very dry, but then I troll, haven't tried drifting, and I've been running with plugs in the floor scuppers.

I've thought about repowering, and right now I'd guess I'd lean towards a Merc Optimax 135 - a lighter weight 2 cycle, fuel injected, supposed to be pretty thrifty, a little easier on the pocketbook to purchase, and plenty of motor for the boat - just my take.

Been out the last two weekends, mouth of the Mac, Plum Island, Ipswich Bay area, with pretty good results on stripers and blues - get that thing going and get out there !
