20 knts is way to slow for me... I tend to run around islands and look for fish...I don't need loog runs I need to get there. If I wanted to go 20knts I would own a 40'er not a CC.

I can tell you that if you ran 20 knots in a mako with twin 250;s you were not at the sweet spot and probably were not getting the peak MPG. I would bet that a rig like that has a sweet spot around 30-33mph or so.
