has anyone else seen the sc 20' cc in Islamorada with twin merc 2.4 offshores? It has been a few years since I saw it. I have witnesses. roughly 93 mph.

roughly 93 mph.

in addition to those twin engines, doing 93mph in a 20' SeaCraft would require smoking copious quantities of crack ahead of time.

I think the idea of it probably came up from smoking crack. It visually was not something that made sense so you can see my reasons for asking if anyone has seen it since. I wish I would have had a camera.

I'd be really surprised that the hull could achieve those speeds even with that power.

May 18, 2007 – Washington, NC – Fountain Powerboats, in a two-way average speed of 87.6 MPH, set the American Poker Run Associations (APRA) center console world speed record.

I am not sure that the guys I speak of know and certainly don't care about poker runs or records. The amount of work the hull had seen to hold this setup was significant. Aluminum right angle legs glassed in and such. I just wanted to know if anyone else knows the boat. Doesn't sound like it!

If you don't care about bragging rights . . . why bother to put twin 2.4L mercs on a 20ft seacraft. That doesn't seem practical at all especially with all the other hulls out there (that are designed for those speeds). You'd have to run at least 28 Pitch Props . . . and your idle 1000rpm would be tuna trolling speed. I'm sure it's fast, but I'd have to see it for myself to believe the hull could hit 93mph.
