it says 20 and yes it is to heavy - a 150 will work great a 225 is way more than needed

Way heavy, a lot of 23 run with 225s. Not necessary on 20 as efficient as a Seacraft.

I had a 135 opti-max on my 20' but there were times I wished it had the 150.

I'm at 415, and my scuppers will come in if I walk to the back with nominal fuel, runs back out when at the console no problem, thats why I say about 400 is it. Sitting empty is no issue at all, just add another 200 and maybe the baitwell and its coming, not a big issue in Fla summers.
