V20 on eBay

A strange oder started coming from my PC when I clicked on that ::) 85 at 1/2 throttle.... hmmm Must be in Kilometers per hour. Tricked out with extra seats??? More like wasted valuable fishing space. Look closely and you'll see he has the saddle tanks. I hope there's more fuel storage on that boat. :o 250 Yamaha cruis'n 85 at 1/2 throttle is probably still pretty thirsty! :-/
 
I emailed that guy asking him how he clocked his speed, I told him he had the fastest V20 on earth, he sent me this reply:

that guy has lost his mind it's only 1 250 thay are lucky to run 50 with a 225 i know 25 more isn't going to top out much over 60 lol
 
still you have to admit, it would be nice to have a v20 that tops out at 170 mph. be a real short ride to the best fishin holes.
 
don't let the spray from over the bow hit you at 170 it would hit you like #6 shott
 
actually thats the least of my problems... i got the v8 chevy with 260 hp. my boat should go up dam near 200 mph... i dont want to go that fast... HELP! ? ! ?

A: Nope, according to my GPS we were going 85mph and the rpm reads 3800 top rpm is 6500
 
I think that guy needs to put the crack pipe down in order to get a proper reading from his gps. Maybe the smoke got in his eyes or something ;D

1) Its not a 78 - 78 has the cuddy door, doesn't it?
2) Gas tank is not 76 - 100 as posted, uless he added more.
3) 85mph half-throttle, got a chuckle out of that!

Don't get me wrong, I like the boat! But 3 lies right off the bat? Gotta wonder about this seller :-/
 
I'd like to see that prop dia. and pitch.

I agree top speed on mine is only like 120ish, give or take 80.
