Re: 82 20 foot info
Depending on the transom height and condition, the 20' SeaCraft is theoretically USCG rated for 230 hp at the original 19'8", but most of them came placarded for 175 hp max recommended HP.
If you have an anchor roller or pulpit permanently affixed to the nose extending it beyond 20' LOA, there is no legal maximum hp.
The 20' will perform well with anything from 75 to 250 hp.
I now run a 90 hp on my 20', and used to run a Merc XR4 V6.
