[QUOTE="acabtp, post: 371105, member: 5368"] my de-restricted honda 9.9 (~13.5 hp) pushes my 16' duranautic (deep V) to 19 mph with just me aboard. runs 13 with two other fishermen. no problems planing. you will be perfectly fine with a 20 hp, as long as you match the prop correctly. with lower horsepower motors on bigger boats, it is extremely important to make sure you are running the motor in the WOT range otherwise your performance will be seriously impacted. you'll need a tach for the motor (cheap on amazon) and a GPS speedometer (your smartphone is fine) to make sure you are getting all you can out of those 20 hp.
