Re: 20' HP ratings
I echo BigShrimpin concerning chine walking on the 20' Seafari. I have had mine at 43 kts, and it began to chine walk at about 39-40 kts. Very gentle, but definitely there. Proper trim becomes a big issue when a deep-V hull begins to walk. I have seen what happens when a 26' Scarab center console with a single 250 Yamadog chine walked into a snap turn and barrel roll at about 50 mph. Not a pretty site.
If you've got counter rotating twins, it's suddenly not a problem, though. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
