Put any high Hp on it you want.

Figure around the high 60's, but not the 70's, with a 250 Hp O/B.

Small boat builder. Comes with or without walkthru opening windscreen.

Good looking boat. Kind of a "retro but updated" style that Glastron should look at. Guns 'n Roses cover of "live and Let Die" is playing in my head...

seems like a pain in the boat to get in the bow with the solid dash and no cut out in the windshield.

There is no swim deck or a place to hang out while sitting and saving gas.....

I like it. Where I have boated lately, outboards would be a real nice thing to have. Problem is, they only come on smaller boats. Nice to know someone is going in this direction.

Lighter, more towards the bow (where one wants it in a vee bottom) without. Split the dash and windscreen and you need to add matieral to both to get the strenght back up.

A friend of mine has the 20' version of this boat. It hits low 70's with a 225 optimax. Very nice boat, with impressive fit & finish.

Come to think of it, at 70+ mph, the kids might blow out of the bow.... crazy

looks like very little room in the cockpit, especially behind the front seats. i think the loss of space and expense of a big outboard purchase would have many preferring an i/o with swim platform.
