I had a 200 Opti on my 1978 Revenge. That was SCARY! Now I have a 115 4 stroke and feel that to be a perfect combo.

Re: Upgrading to a 21' Ribside
We have a 1979 Revenge 21 that came with a 1979 Johnson 200-HP. We repowered it with an OptiMax 200. It pulled the grandkids on skis and tubes and would run 50-MPH. Great rig.

[The Boston Whaler 21 REVENGE] can make 39-MPH with two people aboard using a 15-pitch four-blade [with the engine] turning 6,000-RPM. I traded a 21-pitch that we had as a spare (for the 200) for a 1...
