Performance and Handling

Powering the V20I is the robust 250 HP MerCruiser 4.5L M MPI/Alpha One sterndrive, which provides an ideal balance of horsepower and efficiency. This single I/O propulsion system ensures snappy hole shots for towing tubes or wakeboards, comfortable cruising speeds, and precise handling, even in chop. With a generous 45-gallon fuel capacity, you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time refueling. The V20I’s hull design, combined with the power of the 4.5L engine, delivers a stable, predictable ride that instills confidence in both new and experienced boat owners.

The bow area is made more versatile with the bow filler cushion, creating a large sun pad. The cockpit features ample seating and is enhanced by the included cockpit table, perfect for lunch or entertaining. The transom walkway filler cushion completes the seating arrangement, offering an uninterrupted aft sun lounge. The ProArc tower with integrated top is a key feature, providing a dedicated tow point for watersports and necessary shade for hot days, while the bow well and cockpit cover ensure protection when stored.
