Thanks

My `89 Slacker is 20'4". 25 " transom. The deck design was raised sometime in the 80`s.
No coffin box.
Anyone know the year?
I can walk my skinny ass in the corner and water comes in. 96 150 rude at 365 lbs.
Even with that light motah on her transom, she porpoised when I got her. New prop design and raising the pig solved that. No tabs. Batts under console and console moved forward 2 "s
My 20 is rated for 235 hp per cg plate. That brings you over 60 and chine walking lessons commence. Even with huge 12 x 24 tabs. Ask Bones.
Why do you think you need that much powah? Bushwhhhackah sees 50 light with his e tec 150.
JUMPS outtah the hole.
Minimum plane speed is the most under rated performance parameter evah.
If you are planning on four or more very often, you might want to consider a 23.
Three on my 20 just gives me a human trim tab.
CG is your focus. You can embrace it.
A local neck who is unknown to CSC put a straight shaft 351 in a 20. Pocket drive. A sea snail passed him on plane out the cut.
Somehow marketing has us all believing max hp and weight have no bearing.
