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.

We've got a flats jockey down here that has a 20' Lake & Bay with A 300 Optimax that claims he runs over 90. It just might and the 200' rooster tail also looks cool. Funny thing is, with that heavy motor he draws more water at rest than my SeaCraft which means I can fish flats that he can't. I'm always on his case about having a flats boat that can't fish skinney water. Moral is , use the boat for what it's made for.

Redneck BS'ers. 90 mph in a flats and bay? I don't think so homee. Why not go to the Merc website? A 24 Yellowfin flats boat is the fastest at 64 witha 300 Verado. Recently the same YF 23 flats boat strapped on a 350 Yamaha and got 73 mph.

90 is a long long way off. I did 92 once in a 27ft progression with twin 300 promax merc's and it was really really scary. We made it from the St. Petersburg pier to the Bradenton Yacht Club in 16 1/2 minutes averaging 78 mph. It also swung lab finished 32inch props so in reality the flats and bay did 65.
