 20 hp lt on skiff
Im new to the site here and im looking for some info on some things. The the main thing is that im looking at buying a 16x48 or 15x42 skiff for a 20 hp lt. I was wondering if anyone on here runs either setup and how they perform. I know they aren't gonna go fast im just looking to see if any one has had these setups. Thanks

1448 with 25 gdlt. Setup works great though I'd like it to be bigger. Actually looking to upgrade to a 27 or 35 swomp this summer.

You'd be better with a 16 x 38 skiff.

 Re: 20 hp lt on skiff
Fastest I ever hit was 23.5 with a slightly worn back water prop with me and the dog in the boat. Normal running speed 21-22 empty or lightly loaded and I can get 18-19 with 3 smaller men 130-150 and gear and dog or 16-17 with bigger guys and gear and dog.
