anyone own 20 ft sportfish

Ran the maiden voyage with the new 150 hp and with a four blade 17" pitch prop I turned 5500 rpm and 44.7 mph verified on two gps units. I'm very pleased. It would've been a nicer day if we caught a few more fish.
 
Lumberslinger, that should be a really good fit. I found a 2000 Merc 150 that was sold in 2002 with less than 100 hours. No Optimax or EFI, just a carbed motor. This motor is heavier than my 1985 150 Merc I took off. The 2000 weighs 407 lbs and it puts my thru hulls underwater and my transom drains from the wetwell too. I do have 2 ea. 1000 amp batteries, an onboard charger and the oil tank in the bilge. I'm going to replace the plastic thru hulls with stainless steel and new heavy duty hoses.
