A 20' with a 3.0? Yeah, that would be pretty underpowered.

However, as it states, it's the "best deal on CL" so I don't see how you could pass it up :p

I had a 19 cuddy caravelle, nicely built boat - and it had the tiny 2.3L ford OMC - approx 115hp or so.

It planed without trouble, pulled skiers and tubes. Certainly not a speed or power demon, but it certainly worked well as a general family boat. I would suspect the same with this maxum.

A 20 footer, look for a boat with at least a 4.3V6, or you won't be happy ;)
