Default Re: SC20

When I got my current 20' Seafari, all I had to put on the back was a 1973 105/120 Chrysler. (A 105 with a carb set off a 120). I figured I probably was about 90 hp at the prop. She planed off with no difficulty whatsoever, but had a top speed of under 30 mph, and cruised about 23.

I got caught by a squall one day when I didn't have the speed to outrun it. That's when I went to a 150 Merc.
