Verch,
I run an old 20 and get 36 with and old merc I-6 115. I doubt it would get that on your Slacker due to extra length and weight. You may have gotten 33-34 mph tweaking with prop and height but I kind of doubt it.
Respectfully, your opinion of 2-strokes going the way of the dinosaur is unfounded. All Direct Inject 2 strokes are valid and with the exception of those that may be put out of business by their competitors. On a SeaCraft 20, the 2-stroke, direct-injected BRP Etec in 150-200 hp will out perform any 4 stroke in the class by a distance. At 420 lbs, and balls galore your stocky slacker will praise and please you should you take that route. It's 50 pounds lighter, more efficient, and as quiet or better than any of the best 4 strokes in respective categories.
If you can run at 50 in your water, heck, do it! I cant, so I'm content with a 115, But if i lived on a river or lake would I want 50 mph? heck yeah!
