Bruce I am taking so much weight out of this boat in the past 3 days that I was afraid all the high winds might blow it off the fork lift today. What is the fastest mph one of these 20s has done in the past? I found My sons with the 140 zuke was more then fast enough for me. under the deck today I found a 1/2 doz wasp nest also? I do not think this boat saw the water for many years?

Welcome Bly.

Your son`s 20 was very pretty and I heard she came south. Did a fly guide get her? That open lay out screamed Fly Me.

Please post some pics of your 27 hybrid project. You have an eye for beauty and function.

NoBones worked Merc @ 230 hp + at the prop touches low 60`s. His tabs are 18", and he uses them.

Cheers,
GFS

24 " Bennett's, 1/2 tank fuel (80 gallon tank), T-Top, me by my self
greasy slick calm day on the ICW, 63 mph on the Garmin GPS!
A little spooky cause the only thing in the water is the tabs..
No hook in the bottom either!
Keep in mind this carbed 200 HP Merc motor has been heavily
worked over from outa the box... It is 1999 and still runs strong..

BTW: Welcome the CSC family bly!

Nothing like the sound of a Merc at full song.

24"s, darn, I need new glasses.

wow 63 MPH. I have been there and know what you mean about spooky. I have felt like the boat was just going to go over back wards if I went 1 mph faster. That was in a very very light 15 hobie skiff w a 70 hp yam worked a bit. But your boat with a T top and 40 gal of fuel is impressive. This boat I am doing now will have No T top because of the type fishing he wants to do. with possibly a 200 etec

This boat I am doing now will have No T top because of the type fishing he wants to do. { he likes to spin cast to big tunas} with possibly a 200 etec and a bracket set back factor also? I just speed read through some of your past post and ended up spending way too much time looking at your past projects. Now I have to double time on the 20 because of all the time I took reading your pets info.

It did not go south from us? It went north to marthas vinyard. The guy that bought it tho, had no time all summer to use it so maybe he took it south once his ferry service slowed down from the busy season.

I did not want to throw my crazy 27 in this mix? I like the sea craft only side here?
low 60s with a 230 merc? wow! I would think a 200 etec with a very light 20 would be very close then?
