I'd say RP is right about on target with those numbers. I paid 2,600 or 2,900 (don't remember). The trailer was (is) a POS and I rack it now. Assuming it's solid, It's amazing what the paint job does to your feelings about your boat. There's more I'd do to mine and had planned on it - but I...

Thanks - the paint is a one part epoxy paint called 'brightsides'. I have no idea about the spray tip -sorry. It's looks clean and bright. I would have used Awlgrip two part and would recommend it, but felt it needed to be done by a pro and wasn't up to the investment.

I did the paint, in and out and all around. So far, holding great. The paint on the cockpit floor is another deal though. I'll wait till the end of the season and try and remove what's left and try the stuff MJ used.

ALRIGHT - another V-20 hittin Lake Erie! I have an 82 also - here's some pics to get you rev'd up. You're going to love it. No other boat this size with more room for fishing, period. Were banging out the walleyes right now and there's plenty for you. Nice flare in the front to push the water...

Made me think - What ever became of Ross Perot? Haven't heard a peep from that guy in years

Theoretically, If I use the same prop then I should have similiar results, other things being equal ? So, in the next couple days I'll check - rpm and speed at wot via gps and the prop stats. When I bought the boat I tested compression and it was solid all around for what that's worth on this...

"...it all sounds so distinguished ..." Well, that certainly doesn't belong here :D

OK - Got the Merc book out. Mine is the Merc 898 200hp 305cu (chevy block, I guess) (5.0L?). It says 650-700 idle and 3800-4200 WOT. Next time I get out, I'll see what I can get out of her on the GPS. I don't remember what I did last last year (or 5 minutes ago!) but I think low 30s. I think...

"Mr Knot...took me a minute ... " Don't really know the man - I'm sure it's just Frayed to you! ;D ;) ;D

OK- I'm on a new mission then! Lake Erie can be a rough ridin piece of water. Next time I get some flat water, I'm going to come up with some numbers and figure out what needs to be done with a little brain help from you guys. Not that I need to go that fast, but nice to know it's in there and...

Bummer ???- Hope it was a good time.

When/Where? What the skinny?

When/Where? What the skinny?

I've got a 200 hp 305 I/O and don't think I could touch that kind of speed. Better check my top rpm and prop relationship!!

Yes, 105 on the bottom

425 feet - didn't know people could go that deep

Mac, Now that looks like an interesting option. No expensive brackets below the waterline either. I'm going to PM him for details, thanks. Pete

I'm going to put on a full transom swim platform (came with the boat & finally going to rig it up). What angle brackets would I need to make it sit correctly (level)? Also, I was thinking of mounting it as low as possible without affecting the drive - any issues you can think of, like burying...
