Hi,

I would like to know if i put a 150 hp on a 20 feets crestliner Mirage, would it be enought ?

I want to get to 41 mph and more, the salesman told me it was ok but i know i can't refer to them . If you have a Crestliner 18 feets or more, can you tell me how fast you go on gps and how moch power you have, i would try to figure out how much power i need.

I'd check the max h.p. the boat takes and you want to be as close to max as possible.

I had a 90 merc behind an aluminium 18 foot Fisher and I was around 45mph. Gives you an idea anyways.

Hope this helps.

I have a 17'6" Princecraft with a 115 4s, it gets 44+ on the gps. I would think a 150 could push a 20'er over 41.... But I agre with Carlco as will most here, go with the boat rating, I think a 20' Crestliner is rated at 225Hp $$$$$$$

I am sponsored by Crestliner and my new boat is the Mirage 2000 but I maxed it out with a 225 Optimax and a 15 HP 4 stroke kicker. I can tell you I have been told it will do high 40's with a 150 HP motor, I'm thinking that I'll be getting over 60 MPH and maybe even well over with the 225 Optimax.

The Mirage 2000 is only 1630 #s so it is the lightest 20 foot boat out there.

If you close to here and want to see the 2000 Mirage you can go have a look at mine over at Andre Lalonde Marine in Wendover.

41MPH shouldn't be a problem with a 150HP. I have a 20ft Legend w/115hp 4stroke and mine will do 42MPH GPS.

150HP should be lotsa power!
