Should be a nice boat. You definetly want the V8 for overall performance.
Check the compression, lower unit and engine oil for water. Verify no rot
in the boat. Assuming these check good and it runs out at 4800 rpms or
close to it, you should have a nice boat that will last a long time. Boat
top speed should be around 55 mph.

I am thinking of buying a 2000 20' Celebrity open bow with a 5.7l 250 hp
mercruiser alpha 1. Any thoughts pro or con on this boat? Thanks
