H220ss is the 5.0 gxi/dp enough motor

[podspo1]

I am thinking of buying a new H220ss ,I can get a great deal on one with a volvo pent 5.0 dual prop 270hp.I am concerned this boat may be underpowered .Should I go for the 5.7 ? Does anyone know the top speed with a 5.0 dp? I currently have a 2006 sea ray 205 sport with a 5.0 220hp,can I expect at least as good of performance from the H220ss with the 5.0 dp.Would you guys trade the sea ray for the four winns 5.0dp.

Thanks for your help

I've got a 5.7L VP in a H220 and it hit 58 mph on Tuesday with a single prop in choppy water. Go with the bigger motor whenever you can...especially if you plan to have more than 4 people on board. I wish I could help with 5.0L data though. Sorry.

Forgot to mention... the H220SS has that really low profile windshield, which is quite sporty, but extremely useless in cold or rainy weather. I know a guy who special ordered a high profile windshield on an SS for this very reason. Good luck!
